  • Patent number: 8244184
    Abstract: A radio communication system includes one master station which performs transmission without being controlled by another radio station and which is configured to independently set a channel for use in a radio communication, and at least one slave station which belongs to the one master station and whose radio communication channel used and transmission/reception operations are controlled by the master station. When detecting an interference signal which disturbs the radio communication during operation, the one master station or the at least one slave station sets a first modulation scheme applied to the radio communication to the same second modulation scheme as a modulation scheme used in broadcast in order to convey information necessary for an evasive action to move to another radio communication channel.

  • Patent number: 8180392
    Abstract: A wireless communication device that includes a wireless communication unit that performs a wireless communication in a first mode using a first frequency band serving as a first communication channel, and performs the wireless communication in a second mode using a second frequency band including the first communication channel and a second communication channel that is adjacent to the first communication channel. Also included is a detection unit that monitors each of the first frequency band and the second frequency band, outputs a first detection signal when an interference signal is detected in the first frequency band and outputs a second detection signal when the interference signal is detected in the second frequency band. Further included is a determination unit that determines whether the interference signal is in the first communication channel or in the second communication channel based on the first and second detection signals.
