・Command and response sequence
If commands are sent in succession, then define a sequence, in which a command is sent after the response to the previous command is returned. If a time-out is defined, then the time required for wireless communication must be taken into consideration. The time required for wireless communication may be extended depending on the communication environment. If the interval between two commands is fixed, then a command and a response may collide with each other.
