Claim:
A wireless communication system comprising: a plurality of mobile stations; and a base station configured to periodically receive a predetermined kind of information from one or more registered mobile stations registered in the base station among the plurality of mobile stations via a radio channel shared among the registered mobile stations, wherein each one of the mobile stations transmits an allocation request to request the base station to allocate and notify the transmission timing when power of the mobile station is turned on, each one of the registered mobile stations transmits a deletion request to request the base station to deallocate the transmission timing upon deregistration from the base station when power of the registered mobile station is turned off, the base station registers the mobile station that has transmitted the allocation request when the allocation request is received by the base station, deregisters the registered mobile station that has transmitted the deletion request when the deletion request is received by the base station, determines a transmission interval of the information for the registered mobile stations in accordance with the number of the registered mobile stations, allocates transmission timings of the information for the registered mobile stations to be different among the registered mobile stations in the transmission interval, extends the transmission interval when the number of the registered mobile stations increases to a number smaller by a first predetermined number than the number of mobile stations to which the transmission timings can be allocated, shortens the transmission interval when the number of the registered mobile stations decreases to a number smaller by a second predetermined number than the number of mobile stations to which the transmission timings can be allocated, and notifies the registered mobile station of the transmission interval and the transmission timing, and each one of the registered mobile stations periodically sends out the information to the radio channel in accordance with the transmission interval and the transmission timing.
