Abstract:

To provide a terminal capable of acting as a substitution for a control station that controls the access opportunity of the communication terminal to a communication medium.

Each terminal for use in the communication system includes a control frame detection unit for detecting control frames received from the other terminals. Each control frame includes a first terminal identifier stored in a frame header and a second terminal identifier stored in a data part subsequent to the frame header. If the first terminal identifier is different from the second terminal identifier, it is decided that a terminal indicated by the first terminal identifier is not operated as a controlled station, whereas if the first terminal identifier is identical to the second terminal identifier, it is decided that a terminal indicated by the first terminal identifier is operated as a control station.
