Abstract

The radio communication apparatus includes a transmission timing information detector that detects transmission timing information from a station with which it is communicating. The radio communication apparatus also includes a synchronization window controller that controls the position of a synchronization window of a signal based on the transmission timing information.

Claims

1. A radio communication apparatus, comprising:

a transmission timing information detector that detects transmission timing information from a station with which the apparatus is communicating; and

a synchronization window controller that controls the position of a synchronization window of a signal based on the transmission timing information.

2. A radio communication apparatus, comprising:

a timing information controller that controls communication channels and transmission timing information; and

a synchronization window controller that controls the position of a synchronization window of a signal based on the controlled transmission timing information.

3. A radio communication method, comprising:

detecting transmission timing information from a communication station; and

controlling the position of a synchronization window of a signal based on the transmission timing information.

4. A radio communication method, comprising:

controlling communication channels and transmission timing information; and

controlling the position of a synchronization window of a signal based on the controlled transmission timing information.
