<p>A concentrator (master) of a main network comprises: a detection unit that detects, as an interference candidate, a subsidiary network that may cause interference of communication with the main network; and an avoidance unit that avoids the interference of communication. When any one of the terminals (the concentrator and slaves) of the main network receives, from a terminal of the subsidiary network, a leakage signal (communication signal) at a reception intensity that is equal to or greater than a specified value, the detection unit detects the subsidiary network (the source of the leakage signal) as an interference candidate. The avoidance unit has been configured to divide a certain time period into a plurality of time periods and allocate the time periods as divided to the communications of the terminals of the main network and to the communication of the terminal of the interference candidate.</p> |
