COMMUNICATION METHOD, COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND CIRCUIT MODULE

摘要

A communication method in a communication system which includes a master apparatus and plural slave apparatuses including at least first, second and third slave apparatuses, that are connected to communication medium and are associated with plural cyclic slots including at least first and second slots for triggering data transmission after a latency time, wherein data transmissions of the first and the second slave apparatuses are triggered by the first slot; and data transmission of the third slave apparatus is triggered by the second slot, the method including: sensing the communication medium by the master apparatus; and modifying, by the master apparatus, the first slave apparatus so as to trigger the data transmission of the first slave apparatus by a third slot which differs from the first and the second slots when the data transmission of the first slave apparatus triggered by the first slot is sensed in the sensing process.
