A wireless communication system of the invention comprises a plurality of
communication stations decentralized-autonomously construct a network
without having a relation between a control station and a station to be
controlled under a communication circumstance where a plurality of
channels are prepared. In this case, each of the communication stations
prepares a plurality of operation modes for activating transmitting and
receiving operations, informs the own operation mode, and receives
information regarding operation modes of peripheral stations to manage
its operation mode of each of the peripheral stations.
