Such a signal would de-facto identify the peer as a remote unit or as a central unit and would allow the transceiver unit to select the appropriate role. If no signal is detected, the transceiver unit tries to initiate the handshake procedure and waits for the corresponding signal from the peer. <??>In a first embodiment, the transceiver unit tries to initiate the handshake procedure as a remote unit only. <??>In a second embodiment, the transceiver unit tries to initiate the handshake procedure both as a central unit and as a remote unit. <IMAGE>
