WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless communication method and wireless communication apparatuses by which power consumption can be reduced compared with a conventional system while realizing coexistence of several wireless communication systems in an ad hoc network and synchronization with superframe of other wireless communication apparatuses is possible.

SOLUTION: The super frame has life confirmation slots (2820, 2830) through which radio communication devices of various modulation types should transmit tone signals. A radio communication device has a chance to judge whether one or more radio communication devices using a different modulation type exist or no such device exists in the vicinity. If no such device exists, the slot to be used by the radio communication device of the modulation method is reported as a time that can be used by a radio communication group of other modulation method. Thus, by confirming existence of an object in the vicinity by other radio communication device with which communication cannot be performed, communication can be performed by sharing the super frame.
