Short range radio continuous communication method and system
First Claim
1. A short range radio communication method, in which a DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) that is a short range radio communication used for an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) that is a non-stop toll collection system is applied, and roadside antennas that are provided at a roadside are continuously arranged, and time sharing operation is performed by synchronizing sending timing of a communication frame in all of said roadside antennas, comprising:
- a step for receiving a communication frame transmitted from an adjacent roadside antenna during the communication with one of said roadside antennas in an on-vehicle device which is a radio set mounted on a vehicle and performs the communication with said roadside antennas.

Abstract
To obtain a communication method which makes it possible to perform continuously communication through roadside antennas alternately arranged for a time sharing operation. Roadside antennas are arranged so that communication ranges are suitably overlapped for making the time sharing operation possible, and an on-vehicle device searches a communication frame from an adjacent next antenna during the communication with one of the roadside antennas at the overlapping point, and in the case where an FCMS can continuously be received, a switching from the communicating antenna to the adjacent antenna is instantaneously performed to make it possible to continue the communications between the roadside devices and the on-vehicle device.
