Abstract

See full text

A wireless communication apparatus may operate selectively as a master station or as a remote station in a wireless network. When the apparatus operates as the master station, the apparatus may manage one or more remote devices that operate as remote stations. The apparatus continues operating as the master station until a continuation period elapses when the number of remote devices to be managed is zero. The continuation period begins when the number of remote devices becomes zero. If the number of remote devices becomes one or more before the continuation period elapses, the apparatus continues operating as the master station, even after a lapse of the continuation period. If the number of remote devices remains zero until the continuation period elapses, the apparatus stops operating as the master station after the lapse of the continuation period.
