Publication number: 20070064783Abstract: An in-home-system master station of an in-home communication system detects a frequency band (a channel number corresponding to a data communication subchannel) or a time slot used by each station of an access communication system, using a coexistence signal subchannel. Based on the detected information, the in-home-system master station determines a frequency band or a time slot to be used in the in-home communication system to which the in-home-system master station belongs, so as not to avoid overlapping the frequency or time slot used in the access communication system, and informs each in-home-system slave station of the determined frequency band or time slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2006Publication date: March 22, 2007Inventors: Go Kuroda, Akio Kurobe, Koji Ikeda, Hisao Koga, Yuji Igata, Hirotoshi Yamada, Yoshinori Mizugai, Hiromu Okamoto, Junichi Ohshima, Shigeru Takasu, Takehiro Sugita
