<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power-saving processing method for extending a power-saving operation time by reducing a transition time, in a master communication terminal for simultaneously establishing a plurality of communication links with a plurality of slave communication terminals. <P>SOLUTION: When a power-saving operation is executed in a plurality of the slave communication terminals with asynchronous communication links established with the master communication terminal, the master communication terminal equalizes all the communication cycles of the respective communication links, and sets the communication start times and the communication duration times of the respective communication links so as to set respective communication slots used for the communication links in a continuous range. The master communication terminal executes negotiation with a plurality of the slave communication terminals according to the set contents. The master communication terminal executes its own power-saving operation in the period of unused slots put into one range by the setting. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
