Abstract: An object of the present invention is to generate a clock also before reception of a packet in a reception device. A reception device has: a storage unit storing a true time-stamp included in a received packet including audio data and the true time-stamp expressing reproduction time of the audio data; a timer counting time; a dummy time-stamp generation unit generating a dummy time-stamp as a false time-stamp; a comparator comparing time based on the true time-stamp stored in the storage unit or the dummy time-stamp and time indicated by the timer; and a clock generation unit generating a clock in accordance with a comparison result of the comparator. The comparator performs comparison using the dummy time-stamp until a predetermined condition is satisfied and, after the predetermined condition is satisfied, performs comparison using the true time-stamp.

Abstract: A plurality of primary detection regions A to I are scanned by switching a beam width and a beam direction of an antenna. The primary detection regions A to I are formed such that one detection region overlaps at least one of other detection regions. A small region (any one of secondary detection region (1) to (14)) corresponding to a region provided by excluding a region corresponding to a sum of set of the detection regions where a detection object was not detected, from a region corresponding to a product set of the primary detection regions where the object was detected is specified as a bearing in which the object exists, based on detection results of the respective primary detection regions.

Abstract: Beams are irradiated in three directions by switching an irradiation direction of a mainlobe of an antenna by stages, and an echo is received from a detection object obtained in the mainlobe or a sidelobe in each irradiation direction. Then, reflection power intensity in each irradiation direction is found from the received echo, and pattern of relative variation of the reflection power intensity (power intensity pattern) in each irradiation direction is generated. Meanwhile, a detection region is divided into seven bearings “c” to “i” and a power intensity pattern when an object exists in each bearing is previously stored as a reference pattern in each bearing. Then, the bearing in which the detection object exists is specified by comparing the power intensity pattern obtained from the received echo with the reference pattern in each bearing.

Abstract: When a sending station intends to transmit data to a target station to which the sending station cannot establish a direct link, the sending station searches for a station, i.e., a relay station which can communicate with the target station by retrieving a communication possible/impossible node list.
