Abstract

In order to allow each of communication stations to execute impartial control of accesses to communication media by setting executable-communication ranges of their own independently of each other in a communication environment based on a CSMA method, the present invention provides a radio communication system in which each communication station is capable of checking the occupation state of communication media and setting such an executable-communication range of its own in accordance with the occupation state of the communication media that the number of communication stations coexisting in the executable-communication range is brought to a value within a predetermined range. For example, a specific communication station sets an executable-communication range of its own in order to limit the number of other communication stations capable of communicating with the specific communication station. In addition, a communication station sets an executable-transmission range suitable for an executable-reception range set by itself in order to reduce the degree of non-uniformity of the access control and to minimize the impact of interferences on other communication stations.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, a wireless communication device, a wireless communication method, and a computer program for performing communication between a plurality of wireless communication stations as in the case of a wireless LAN (Local Area Network). More specifically, the present invention relates to a wireless communication system, a wireless communication device, a wireless communication method, and a computer program, wherein a wireless communication station uses CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance, carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance) Method-based carrier sense access to the communication medium while avoiding collisions. [0002] In more detail, the present invention relates to a wireless communication system, a wireless communication device, a wireless communication method, and a computer program in which each wireless communication station operates by obtaining...

Problems solved by technology

[0071] (3) Limit the number of controlled stations for many neighboring stations

However, from this implementation point of view, the allocation of endlessly large storage areas is undesirable

Also, depending on the system, if there are too many other communication stations, another communication station may no longer be able to be adjusted
