Wireless communication system and wireless communication control method, wireless communication device and wireless communication method, and computer program
First Claim
1. A receiving destination wireless communication device comprising:
- circuitry configured to receive management information broadcasted for notifying presence from a transmitting source wireless communication device;
circuitry configured to broadcast management information for presence, the management information describing receive timing information of the receiving destination wireless communication device; and
circuitry configured to set a receive timing of receiving data information over a wireless network, the data information being received from the transmitting source wireless communication device,wherein the set receive timing corresponds to the receive timing information that indicates at least one period of time during which the receiving destination wireless communication device is enabled and capable of receiving the data information as distinguished from timings during which the receiving destination wireless communication device is not enabled and incapable of receiving the data information.

Abstract
A wireless communication device in a wireless network sets management information notification cycles at specified time intervals and transmits management information containing receive timing information showing its own position to start receiving information, receive window information, and receive cycle information. Another wireless communication device receiving that management information links it to a communication device number for the corresponding wireless communication device and stores the receive timing, the receive window information, and the receive cycle information. When sending information, the receive start position of the corresponding communication device is found from the receive timing information, the receive window information, and the receive cycle information of the other communication and information is then transmitted at that timing. An asynchronous ad-hoc communication wireless network can therefore be configured without a particular control station.
