Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1における無線通信ネットワークの構成例を示した図である。図1において、制御装置1は、端末装置2および端末装置3それぞれと異なる通信方式で通信する。制御装置1は、端末装置2a、および、端末装置2bと、通信方式Aで通信する。また制御装置1は、端末装置3a、および、端末装置3bと、通信方式Bで通信する。
次に、本発明の実施の形態1の変形例を説明する。
実施の形態1では、制御装置が、通信方式の分からない受信データの開始を、受信信号強度の閾値判定で検出すると、通信方式Aおよび通信方式Bのそれぞれの同期判定を行うことで、受信データの通信方式を判別することが可能となる。
