WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD TO PERFORM HANDOVER OF COMMUNICATION USING DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A wireless communication system comprising a terminal apparatus, a first wireless communication apparatus and a second wireless communication apparatus which exist in a network,wherein the first wireless communication apparatus comprises:
- a first wireless section to perform a wireless communication with the terminal apparatus or the second wireless communication apparatus;
a second wireless section to perform a short distance wireless communication with the second wireless communication apparatus; and
a first control section to instruct the second wireless section to transmit participation information to the second wireless communication apparatus so as to participate in the network, in a case where a communication with the second wireless communication apparatus is handed over from the short distance wireless communication performed by the second wireless section to the wireless communication performed by the first wireless section, and in the case where the first wireless section is connected to the terminal apparatus so that the first wireless communication apparatus participates in the network,and wherein the second wireless communication apparatus comprises;
a third wireless section to perform the wireless communication with the terminal apparatus or the first wireless communication apparatus;
a fourth wireless section to perform the short distance wireless communication with the first wireless communication apparatus; and
a second control section to instruct the third wireless section to be connected to the network so that the second wireless communication apparatus participates in the network based on the participation information, in a case where the communication with the first wireless communication apparatus is handed over from the short distance wireless communication performed by the fourth wireless section to the wireless communication performed by the third wireless section, and in the case where the participation information is obtained by the fourth wireless section.
