Abstract: A wireless LAN device for lessening failure in switching from infrastructure mode to ad-hoc mode. A radio wave coverage storage stores coverage information about coverage of radio waves amongst access points. A terminal information storage stores terminal information about terminals associated with the access points. A packet receiver receives, via the access points, a packet transmitted from any of the terminals in infrastructure mode. An access point acquisition unit looks up the terminal information storage, based on terminal information about originating and destination terminals contained in the packet, to identify access points with which the terminals are associated. A radio wave coverage decision unit looks up the radio wave coverage storage to determine whether the identified access points are within each other's coverage of radio waves. A communication mode switch switches the communication mode of the originating and destination terminals to ad-hoc mode in accordance with the determination result.

Abstract: A wireless communication system which enables fast handovers by eliminating a time lag that occurs during handover process. A new base station recognizes lower layer link switching timing of a mobile station, then adjusts the output timing of a packet transmission initiation message, which triggers packet transmission, so that when a packet is transmitted from a new relay device to the mobile station, the packet may arrive at the mobile station immediately after the lower layer link switching, and sends out the packet transmission initiation message at the adjusted output timing to the new relay device. On receiving the packet transmission initiation message, the new relay device transmits the packet to the mobile station. The mobile station executes the lower layer link switching to complete lower layer handover, and then completes upper layer handover on receiving the packet from the new relay device immediately after the link switching.

Abstract: In a system in which a reception (paging) cycle is defined by the number of frames, even if the length of the frames is changed, the power consumption of a mobile station (MS) and a delay in the response at the time of incoming are maintained by changing the paging cycle so that the paging cycles become equal in a time unit. The mobile station for receiving the signal from a wireless base station for each cycle defined by the number of frames to detect an incoming notification has a measurement unit for detecting a change in the frame length of the received frames, a cycle changing unit for, if the change is detected, increasing or decreasing the number of frames which defines the cycle, and an incoming notification monitoring unit for receiving the signal from the wireless base station in accordance with the cycle changed by the cycle changing unit.

Paging information (second paging information) for a mobile station which selects a channel is determined from the first paging information determined for each selected channel. Due to this, multicast data delivery frame can be overlapped (is synchronized) with frames for monitoring for paging announcements, and power consumption for an MS in the idle mode can be reduced.
