Radio communication system, least significant station, and most significant station

摘要

In a radio communication system (1), a lower-level station (10a) has: a lower-level station ID detection unit (13) which detects a lower-level station ID for identifying another lower-level station (10b), from a signal from the other lower-level station (10b); a group ID detection unit (12) which identifies a group ID for identifying a group to which the other lower-level station (10b) belongs; a measurement unit (15) which measures a channel utilization state of the other lower-level station (10b); a utilization probability update unit (19) which calculates a channel utilization amount for each lower-level station and a channel utilization amount for each group based on the lower-level station ID, group ID and channel utilization state, and updates a channel utilization probability which indicates the utilization probability of communication channels based on the channel utilization amount for each lower-level station and the channel utilization amount for each group; and a channel determination unit (20) which determines a communication channel to be utilized for transmission by the lower-level station, based on this channel utilization probability.
