Abstract
A frequency-hopped mobile communication system is disclosed, in which a mobile wireless station automatically becomes a base station in accordance with the surrounding conditions, thereby automatically reconfiguring a communication network. A control frame is generated by at least one master station, and frequencies are hopped by a plurality of slave stations in accordance with the control frame. Each slave station switches the master thereof to be tracked, in accordance with the receiving conditions of the control frame and the relation between the control frame received from the master station and the status of the slave station and decides in which mode, master station or slave station, the slave station is to operate. The cells are thus automatically reconfigured.
