Title:
COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/098203
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Appropriate coordination with a plurality of other communication ends performing millimeter wave communications can be established. Transmitted beams of each of a plurality of terminal stations are directed to an access point, and an effective communication link using a second communication system is utilized as a link used for performing a high-rate data transmission between the access point and each terminal station. As a matter of course, the communication link using the first communication system between the access point and each terminal station is effective and utilized as a link used for coordination therebetween. Since no transmitted beams are directed to either one of the terminal stations, the communication link using the second communication system is ineffective between the terminal stations. However, the effective communication link using the first communication system can be utilized as a link used for coordination between the terminal stations.
