Communication apparatus, integrated circuit, and communication method

摘要

In communication method for communicating via a transmission channel to which first communication apparatuses communicating based on a first communication system, second communication apparatuses communicating based on a second communication system, and third communication apparatuses communicating based on a third communication system are connected, a data transmission domain and a notification domain for notifying a data transmission within the data transmission domain are allocated to the first communication apparatuses, the second communication apparatuses, and the third communication apparatuses, respectively. In the communication method, notices of the data transmission for each of the first communication apparatuses, the second communication apparatuses and the third communication apparatuses are transmitted within the notification domain, and the data transmission domain is reallocated in accordance with the notices transmitted from the first, second and third communication apparatuses.

主权项

1. A communication apparatus which is capable of communicating based on a first communication system via a transmission channel, to which another communication apparatus capable of communicating based on a second communication system connects comprising:
an integrated circuit; a housing which includes the integrated circuit; a first connector which is adapted for connecting the transmission channel provided on a first side of the housing; a indicator which is provided on a second side of the housing (100); wherein the integrated circuit comprising,
a transmitter which transmits a first notice including a first notification signal which is rotated by a first phase vector within a first notification domain in a first communication cycle; anda detector which is capable of detecting a second notice transmitted from the another communication apparatus within a second notification domain in a second communication cycle after the first communication cycle; wherein the transmitter transmits a data signal within a first data domain in the second communication cycle or a third communication cycle after the second communication cycle,wherein the first data domain is allocated to the first communication system on the basis of the first notice.
