METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING DATA

摘要

A method for transmitting and receiving data, which enables power consumption to be effectively restrained, is provided. Said method is for transmitting and receiving data between a plurality of nodes. The method for transmitting and receiving data is provided with: a determination step that is performed in one node, and involves determining whether or not the data size of data to be transmitted is less than or equal to a transmittable data size; a splitting step in which data to be transmitted that is larger than the transmittable data size is split into a plurality of intermediate data such that the data size becomes less than or equal to the transmittable data size; a transmission data generation step in which a split header is appended to each of the plurality of intermediate data, and a plurality of transmission data is generated; a transmission step in which the plurality of transmission data is transmitted to another node; a reception step that is performed in the other node, and involves receiving the plurality of transmission data transmitted from the one node; and a restoration step in which the plurality of transmission data that was received is integrated on the basis of the information in the split headers so as to restore the transmitted data.
