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.

The relay apparatus includes: an idle mode detection unit configured to detect that the mobile station is in an idle mode; a renewal execution unit configured to execute a renewal process on behalf of the mobile station in the idle mode by communicating messages necessary for the renewal process with a server; and a timer synchronization unit configured to synchronize timers of the mobile station and the server after the mobile station returns to a normal mode from the idle mode.

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.
