Abstract
In performing wireless communication between terminals to perform time difference measurement and propagation time measurement, first and second terminals that transmit a signal at least once in attempting space-time synchronization are included. The first terminal measures a reception phase of a locally transmitted signal, and a reception phase of a signal transmitted by the second terminal, adds a positive or negative phase to the measured reception phase, and makes a report to the second terminal. The second terminal measures a reception phase of a locally transmitted signal, and a reception phase of a signal transmitted by the first terminal, and makes a report to the first terminal. The first and second terminals obtain a time difference or propagation time according to a reception phase measured by a local device and reported from a counterpart, and obtain additional information based on a phase reflected in the time difference or propagation time.
