Patent ID: 8625449

Claim:
A wireless access system, comprising: a plurality of wireless control stations; and a first wireless terminal device configured to transmit and receive data to and from the plurality of wireless control stations, wherein each of the plurality of wireless control stations includes, a transmitter configured to adjust to every other wireless control station and the first wireless terminal device to reserve first data transmission periods that do not overlap with those of the other wireless control stations and the first wireless terminal device, and transmit data in the first reserved periods, wherein the first wireless terminal device includes, a time division multiple access (TDMA) receiver configured to receive first data transmitted by at least a first one of the plurality of wireless control stations using a time-division multiple access communication, and a space division multiple access (SDMA) transmitter configured to transmit second data to at least the first one of the plurality of wireless control stations using space-division multiple access communication, wherein the SDMA transmitter of the first wireless terminal device is configured to transmit a response signal in a directional space through a MAC transmitter corresponding to a space where the wireless control station that transmitted the first data is located, based on a transmit request time designated by the wireless control station that transmitted the first data when the TDMA receiver receives the first data, wherein the first wireless terminal device is configured to adjust to the plurality of wireless control stations to reserve a second data transmission period that does not overlap with data transmission periods of the plurality of wireless control stations, and transmit the second data in the second reserved period, wherein the first wireless terminal device is configured to previously reserve a time band for performing space-division multiple access communication so as not to overlap with a transmission period of one or more of the plurality of wireless control stations and notify each of the plurality of wireless control stations of the time band, wherein the first wireless terminal device is one of a plurality of wireless terminal devices, wherein each of the plurality of wireless control stations is configured to send a transmission request requesting at least one wireless terminal device under its control from among the plurality of wireless terminal devices to transmit data and a response signal so as to be included in a time band reported from another wireless terminal device, wherein the first wireless terminal device is configured to receive the transmission request, and wherein the first wireless terminal device is configured to transmit the second data and the response signal according to the transmission request.
