WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM EMPLOYING THE SAME, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless communication apparatus capable of performing peer-to-peer communication between apparatuses operating as a slave while using wireless resources, a wireless communication system employing the same and a control method thereof. SOLUTION: The wireless communication apparatus includes a transmitting/ receiving part for receiving data transmitted from the outside and transmitting a transmission object signal, and a controller. The controller analyzes a received packet for a certain period of time and detects an amount of slot usage according to a destination when the controller is operated as a master device while maintaining being connected to at least one slave device. The controller selects a temporary master device according to the amount of slot usage and performs processing that transfers the role of a master to the selected temporary master device.
