Wireless communication apparatus, wireless communication system, wireless communication method, and program for executing this wireless communication method

摘要

A radio communication system of the present invention comprises a radio communication device which transmits or receives a first beacon signal and a second beacon signal. A beacon transmission radio communication device transmits the first beacon signal in a preset timing pattern P1, while a beacon signal reception radio communication device receives the first beacon signal in a preset timing pattern P2. The beacon transmission radio communication device transmits the second beacon signal upon a passage of a delay time period R which is shorter than a standby time period Q which is shorter than the timing pattern P1, after the standby time period Q has passed. The beacon signal reception radio communication device attempts to receive the second beacon signal according to a passage of the delay time period R which is shorter than the standby time period Q which is shorter than the timing pattern P2, after the standby time period Q has passed.
