Wireless communication apparatus, wireless communication method, and computer program

Abstract

Communication bands are effectively allocated to each communication station under a communication environment of an autonomous distributed type system such as an ad-hoc communication. Each communication station acquires a priority slot with which each communication station itself performs data transmission preferentially at predetermined time intervals, and releases or allocates its own priority slot to other communication station in response to a permission form upper layer of a communication protocol based on a fact that the transmission data is not in a buffer. Thereby, it is able to effectively utilize the communication bands, and to improve a throughput of the whole system.

[0036] However, in this case, when the use state of the time slot that has been allocated to the mobile station by the base station is monitored, and if the use rate is equal to or less than a certain threshold, the reservation is canceled and a certain time is required to cancel the reservation gap

[0037] In addition, since a station such as a base station is required for centralized management of mobile stations, it is difficult to apply an autonomous distributed system such as a dedicated network
