Delay controller, control method, and communication system

摘要

A delay controller includes an acquiring section that acquires synchronization timings indicating timings when a plurality of controllers, which control via a line a plurality of transmitters that transmit data, synchronously control the transmitters, a determining section that determines a reference synchronization timing serving as a reference for synchronization between the controllers, on the basis of the synchronization timings acquired by the acquiring section, and a synchronization information transmitting section that transmits synchronization information to the controllers, the synchronization information being used when the controllers receive data from each of the transmitters at the reference synchronization timing determined by the determining section.

1. A delay controller comprising:
acquiring means for acquiring synchronization timings indicating timings when a plurality of controllers synchronously control, via a line, transmitters that transmit data; determining means for determining a reference synchronization timing serving as a reference for synchronization among the controllers, at least in part on the basis of the synchronization timings acquired by the acquiring means; and synchronization information transmitting means for transmitting synchronization information to the controllers, the synchronization information being used when the controllers receive data from each of the transmitters at the reference synchronization timing determined by the determining means; wherein: the determining means determines, as the reference synchronization timing, a synchronization timing of a controller of the plurality of controllers which minimizes a delay with respect to each of synchronization timings of other controllers of the plurality of controllers.
