| 1. A communication method in a communication system for performing communication between a base station and terminal stations,
comprising the steps of:
transmitting, from each terminal station, a first signal;
performing, in the base station, a timing acquisition of the first signal from each terminal station and transmitting first
difference information for coarse adjustment which indicates a phase difference between the first signal and a reference phase;
generating, in each terminal station, an orthogonal signal having a phase set in accordance with the first difference information
and transmitting a second signal using the generated orthogonal signal;
performing, in the base station, a tracking of the second signal from each terminal station and transmitting a second difference
information for fine adjustment between the second signal and the reference phase; and
setting, in each terminal station, a delay amount of a delay circuit in accordance with the second difference information,
wherein the delay circuit is between an antenna of each terminal station and a generator means for generating the orthogonal
signal,
wherein the first difference information is input to the generator means and the second difference information is input to
the delay circuit.
