Time division multiplexing synchronization apparatus, radio communication apparatus, and synchronization method in time division multiplex communication

摘要

A time division multiplexing synchronization apparatus, radio communication apparatus, and synchronization method in time division multiplex communication that enable power savings to be achieved and synchronization to be performed dependably with a signal from the intended station. From the start of communication until a slot containing frame information can be confirmed, data reception is performed only for a fixed time each time the UW of a slot is detected, and data reception is not performed in other periods. By this means power consumption can be reduced, and since unwanted synchronization is not performed for a disturbing wave of another station or the like, synchronization can be maintained dependably.
