Abstract: A master station (111) and a slave station (121) each communicate an individually set, fixed number of communication frames in a cyclic period. The communication frame contains, as communication information, a sequence number and a period number. The master base station (113) and the slave base station (123) determine, upon communication of each communication frame in a wireless manner, if there is a missing communication frame on a basis of the communication information of a this-time communication frame and the communication information of a last-time communication frame. When there is a missing communication frame, a history management server (300) records communication history information of the last-time communication frame and of the this-time communication frame, as preceding/succeeding history information.

A driving characteristic estimation unit (155) estimates a driving characteristic of a driver presently driving a vehicle based on the driving condition database (160).

Abstract: A terminal mode of at least a part of terminals in a centralized control area and terminals in a distributed control area is set to a time division control mode for performing communication in a time division manner. The terminals in the centralized control area, the terminal mode of which is other than the time division control mode, are set in a centralized control mode.

The terminals set in the time division control mode perform transmission in a communication period in which communication is permitted. The terminals set in the centralized control mode and the terminals set in the distributed control mode perform communication without depending on the communication period.

Abstract: A base station of a radio communication system emits a radio wave having the same frequency by time division toward a plurality of specific areas from a plurality of antenna elements by using a multiple-beam antenna to form a plurality of spot beams, and transmits broadcast information through a plurality of beacon channels. Upon reception of the broadcast information, a terminal that exists in any one of the plurality of specific areas selects an optimum beacon channel, and transmits a communication establishment request and a bandwidth request to the base station through a request channel corresponding to information for identifying the antenna element, which is included in the broadcast information received through the selected optimum beacon channel. Upon reception of the requests, the base station schedules, when a channel is to be allocated, a channel allocation time including downlink and uplink data bandwidths and the like.

A second wireless terminal station receives the transmission direction identification information, combines reception direction identification information and the transmission direction identification information, and transmits directivity direction combination information to a wireless base station. The first and the second wireless terminal stations form directional beams in directions indicated by the directivity direction combination information to thereby perform a direct communication.

Abstract: A base station assigns a most appropriate carrier from wide frequency bands in response to a re-request for channel establishment received from a mobile station, even if a same slot as a slot last assigned is assigned. Furthermore, a frequency management table is managed in which carriers that form a radio channel and are grouped by a specific number thereof so as to be distributed over wide frequency bands. Priorities used to search groups are individually provided for base stations that form a system. This allows neighboring base stations to distribute carriers over the wide frequency bands.

Abstract: A control unit measures a phase error between a reference timing of a mobile station and a reception timing from a base station based on reception data from a reception unit and a count from a reference timing counter unit, determines a frequency deviation correction value calculation period corresponding to the measured phase error, and outputs it to a frequency deviation correction value calculation unit. The frequency deviation correction value calculation unit does not calculate a deviation at every reception time when intermittent reception is repeated, but calculates a deviation at intervals following the frequency deviation correction value calculation period given from the control unit.
