Abstract:
1. A radio communication terminal which is one of a plurality of radio communication terminals, a communication of each of said plurality of radio communication terminals being controlled by a radio communication terminal accommodating apparatus, said radio communication terminal comprising: an acquiring unit configured to acquire allocation information transmitted from said radio communication terminal accommodating apparatus, said allocation information including information that indicates which communication-right time period is allocated to each of said plurality of radio communication terminals, information on a start time and time length of said communication-right time period and information on a direction of communication between each of said plurality of radio communication terminals and said radio communication terminal accommodating apparatus; a transmitter configured to transmit a data signal in a communication-right time period which is allocated to said radio communication terminal based on said allocation information and to transmit an arbitrary signal other than said data signal in said communication-right time period if said radio communication terminal need not transmit said data signal; a receiver configured to receive a pronouncement signal indicative of shifting to a second communication mode which is set according to said allocation information transmitted from said radio transmission terminal accommodating apparatus, after receiving said allocation information; and a shifting unit configured to shift from a first communication mode different from said second communication mode to said second communication mode after receiving said pronouncement signal, the first communication mode having a communication right time period having no-fixed time length.
