Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication system in which a first wireless device and a second wireless device intermittently perform wireless communication, in which the first wireless device repeatedly transmits an activation signal for activating the second wireless device at a first cycle until receiving a response signal from the second wireless device, the second wireless device repeatedly executes detection processing of the activation signal at a second cycle that is longer than the first cycle, receives, when a part of the activation signal is detected in the detection processing, the activation signal, transmits, when the activation signal is addressed to the second wireless device itself, the response signal to the first wireless device, the first wireless device transmits, when the response signal is received, data to the second wireless device, and the second wireless device receives, after transmitting the response signal, the data from the first wireless device.

Abstract: A synchronization method includes: a first step of transmitting a query command a plurality of times to a communication device configured to perform time synchronization with a base station device connected to a mobile communication network, the query command requesting time information expressed in a first unit, the first unit being lower in accuracy than accuracy of the time synchronization established by the communication device; a second step of determining timing at which the time information obtained in response to the query command is updated; a third step of determining timing to transmit a next query command, based on the timing at which the time information is updated; and a fourth step of acquiring time information with higher accuracy than the first unit, based on time information obtained in response to the query command transmitted at the third step.

Abstract: A time synchronization system includes a first wireless device and a second wireless device. A wireless unit of the first wireless device wirelessly transmits timing information and time information separately, the time information being acquired from a first clock and relating to a transmission time when the timing information was transmitted. A wireless unit of the second wireless device receives the wirelessly transmitted timing information and time information separately. A correction unit of the second wireless device corrects s a second clock on the basis of a reference time indicated by the second clock at a time when the wireless unit received the timing information, and a transmission time obtained from the time information.

Abstract: To further reduce power consumption in a wireless communication device that performs intermittent operations.
