COMMUNICATION METHOD, COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A communication terminal and a method of the present invention aim to save electric power in a wireless ad hoc network. According to the communication method, the signal transmission processing of stations (2) is stopped in response to a beacon signal for sleep, which is sent from one of the stations. The signal transmission processing of the stations is carried out in response to a beacon signal for awakening. Since an operation mode of the stations is controlled by the beacon signal, it is possible to certainly transmit a signal, and secure a sleep state for saving electric power.
