Abstract:
1. A wireless communication apparatus for receiving first and second reception signals from another wireless communication stations and transmitting first and second transmission signals having the same data size to another wireless communication stations, comprising: a receiving section including first and second receiver modules configured to sense the first and second reception signals to be set in a reception mode, and receive the first and second reception signals from the another wireless communication stations in a reception mode; a responding section configured to respond to an end timing of receiving the first and second reception signals in the receiving section to generate a reception end signal; a transmission section including first and second transmitter modules configured to transmit the first and second transmission signals in a transmission mode and inhibit the transmission of the first and second transmission signals in the reception mode, respectively, the transmission section being kept in a waiting state in the transmission mode to wait the occurrence of the first and second transmission signals; an enabling section configured to enable the transmission section to transmit the first and second transmission signals, the enabling section causing the transmission section to switch into the transmission mode from the reception mode in response to the reception end signal and to keep the transmission section in the waiting state, the transmission of the first and second transmission signals being started in the waiting state; and a transmission control section configured to control supplies of the first and second transmission signals to the first and second transmitter modules so as to cause the first and second transmitter modules to end the transmissions of the first and second transmission signals at the same timing.
