Abstract: When transmitting voice data, correction codes each representing data of one data packet are added to the transmitted data from the outset. Thus, it is made possible to restore one data packet lost for the first time, and when and only when two successive data packets are discarded, one packet data is lost. In this way, the data discarding endurance is improved.

Abstract: Disclosed is a bridge apparatus for the relay of a frame between a wire LAN and a wireless LAN. When a frame transmitted by the wire LAN is a specific frame, a QoS middleware unit of the bridge apparatus adds a bridging request to an FIFO queue having a high priority. And when the frame received from the wire LAN is not a specific frame, the QoS middleware unit adds a bridging request to an FIFO queue having a low priority. A bridging unit performs the priority processing for the bridging request present in the FIFO queue having a high priority, and transmits the frame to the wireless LAN.

A FIFO queue buffer (QoS queue) accumulates the sorted prioritized packets.

Abstract: In a wireless LAN communication system, a communication mode is automatically switched between an infrastructure mode and an ad-hoc mode. Communication between two stations is started in the infrastructure mode. Packets transmitted in an infrastructure network are monitors to detect a packet transmitted to an access point and addressed, as a final destination, to one's own station or a destination station. If such a packet is detected, it is determined that a transmitting or source station is in a state that allows an ad-hoc communication. A channel searcher of the access point searches for available channels of an ad-hoc network. A switching controller selects one of the available channels and transmits information indicating the selected channel to the source and destination stations. In response to receiving the information indicating the selected channel, the source and destination stations starts direct communication using the selected channel of the ad-hoc network.

Abstract: A fast roaming system for changing, in a short period of time, the connection to a roaming destination AP (access point) providing a better communication environment, and for improving a roaming completion rate. In response to a search process performed by a mobile terminal, individual APs transmits AP data required for roaming directly to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal performs the passive scanning search or the active scanning search for the peripheral APs at short time intervals, and obtains and stores the latest AP data in an AP data table. As a result, only the latest data for the connectable peripheral AP can be stored as a roaming destination in the AP data table. Furthermore, since the order condition is set by the mobile terminal to select the roaming destination AP, there is a high probability that the roaming is completed when the peripheral AP is first selected. Therefore, only a short period of time is required until the roaming is completed.
