COMMUNICATION TIMING CONTROLLER, COMMUNICATION TIMING CONTROL METHOD, NODE, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly allocate time slots to respective nodes by preventing a transmission collision of an impulse signal causing phase interaction.

SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a communication timing controller which determines the timing of data transmission by deciding the phase state of a node through phase interaction between nodes and is mounted to the node. Then the communication timing controller has a virtual node model computing means of computing a virtual phase state to a transmission-source node in response to the reception of a phase indication timing signal indicating the timing of the data transmission of a nearby node, a phase computing means to change the phase state of its node according to a timing adjustment rule including predetermined phase repulsion characteristics or phase synchronism characteristics based upon the phase indication timing signal from the nearby node and a virtual phase state of the nearby node, and a contribution degree update means of adjusting the degree of contribution of the phase repulsion characteristics or phase synchronism characteristics.
