Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication system that is capable of preventing interference between secondary use systems that do not use a database. The wireless communication system uses a white space for opposing communication between a base station and a terminal station. At startup, the base station transmits a preamble over a cycle that is n-times a frame length (where n is an integer 2 or greater), changes a set frequency channel if ranging is not detected from a terminal station within a fixed time interval, and begins normal operation using the set frequency channel if ranging is detected. At startup, the terminal station detects a preamble within a received signal, changes a set frequency channel if a peak is detected at each frame length, and transmits a ranging signal if peaks are detected for cycles that are n-times the frame length and peaks are not detected for other cycles.
