Abstract

A frame period is specified by means of a predetermined signal; a management data transmission region is set in this frame period; and when common information to be transmitted from the control station in the management data transmission region is received at a plurality of communication stations, any of these communication stations performs processing for repeatedly transmitting the received common information, whereby when communications in a network system are controlled by a control station, a station incapable of directly making communication with a control station can be controlled satisfactorily.
