TERMINAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MASTER-SLAVE HANDOVER IN MEDIA ACCESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Terminal devices F and G store statistical information related to interference from an external communication system, and notify the stored statistical information to a master station E. The master station E determines the terminal device G as a candidate station for a master station capability handover destination based on collected statistical information. The master station E requests to hand over a master station capability to the terminal device G. If it is determined that the terminal device G accepts handover of the master station capability, the terminal device G starts to act as the master station.
