また、第6実施形態に係る無線通信システム1Eは、無線局10E-1が、送信タイミングを取得することなく、基礎情報を含む第2の信号を無線局20E-1へ送信し、無線局20E-1が基礎情報に基づいて送信タイミングを取得してもよい。
次に、本発明の第7実施形態に係る無線通信システムについて説明する。
第7実施形態は、第1実施形態、又は、第6実施形態を具象化した実施形態として捉えてもよい。よって、第1実施形態、又は、第6実施形態で開示した通信方式の特徴は本実施形態で開示する方法と組み合わせて使用することができる。また、第1実施形態、又は、第6実施形態で開示した装置の特徴は、本実施形態で開示する装置においても具備することが許される。
図44に示したように、無線局10G-1の機能は、第3実施形態に係る無線局10Aの機能の、制御部101Aを制御部101Gに置換し、且つ、通信部102Aを通信部102Gに置換した機能である。制御部101Gは、無線局10G-2から受信した基礎情報に基づいて送信タイミングを取得する点を除いて、制御部101Aと同様の機能を有する。通信部102Gは、無線局10G-2から基礎情報を受信する点を除いて、通信部102Aと同様の機能を有する。なお、相違点については後述する。
通信部102Gは、無線局20G-1から第1の通信要求情報が受信された場合、第1の通信要求情報に含まれる無線局識別情報により識別される無線局20G-2が接続されている無線局10G-2へ、第4の通信要求情報を送信する。本例では、第4の通信要求情報は、第1の通信要求情報に含まれる無線局識別情報を含む。本例では、第4の通信要求情報は、基礎情報の送信を要求する情報である。本例では、第4の通信要求情報は、RRC D2D Setup Requestと呼ばれるメッセージである。

本例では、無線局20G-1が無線局10G-1と無線通信可能に接続され、且つ、無線局20G-2が無線局10G-2と無線通信可能に接続されている場合を想定する。
そして、無線局10G-1は、第4の通信応答情報に含まれる基礎情報を取得する。次いで、無線局10G-1は、取得された基礎情報と、無線局20G-1から受信された第1の通信要求情報に含まれる無線局識別情報と、に基づいて、無線局20G-2に対する送信タイミングを取得する。
その後、無線通信システム1Gは、図21のステップS208以降の処理と同様の処理を実行する。
また、第7実施形態に係る無線通信システム1Gは、無線局10G-1が、送信タイミングを取得することなく、基礎情報を含む第1の通信応答情報を無線局20G-1へ送信し、無線局20G-1が基礎情報に基づいて送信タイミングを取得してもよい。
