Abstract

The present invention introduces a multichannel MAC into a white-space-using system. A base station and a terminal station are each configured from a plurality of wireless communication units and centralized control units thereof. Each of the wireless communication units wirelessly transmits/receives for one channel. The base station operates one or more channels according to white-space-channel status, and is assigned to a terminal station. When operating a plurality of channels, it is possible to select a redundancy mode for assigning data by duplicating the terminal-station data in a plurality of channels, and a high-speed mode for dividing the data and distributing the data among the plurality of channels.
