Abstract

In a wireless LAN system, each wireless terminal device determines whether or not the wireless terminal device has entered into a wireless LAN domain established by a base station, and if it has entered, transmits an entry terminal identification information update control frame including identification information of its own device to the base station at a predetermined time interval. The base station receives the entry terminal identification information update control frame from the wireless terminal device, stores in a storage the identification information of the wireless terminal device entered into the wireless LAN domain established by its own base station, and when it receives an information frame from a wired transmission line connected to its own base station, relay-transmits only the information frame to the wireless terminal device having the identification information thereof stored in the storage by referring the information stored in the storage.
