Patent ID: 8902285

Claim:
A first wireless communication apparatus comprising: a timing signal generating part configured to receive a control signal representing a predetermined control timing and to generate a timing signal having a transmission timing prior to the predetermined control timing by a predetermined offset time; a detecting part configured to detect whether a timing adjustment event for adjusting the transmission timing of the timing signal exists; a timing signal transmitting part configured to receive a detection result from the detecting part, wherein: when the detection result reflects that the timing adjustment event does not exist, the timing signal transmitting part is configured to transmit the timing signal to a second wireless communication apparatus, and when the detection result reflects that the timing adjustment event exists, the timing signal transmitting part is configured to (i) generate an adjusted timing signal by adjusting the transmission timing of the timing signal by a predetermined adjustment time to a transmission timing when the timing adjustment event does not exist, and (ii) transmit the adjusted timing signal to the second wireless communication apparatus.
