APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION TIMING CONTROL, NODE, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-flexible communication timing control apparatus in which each node can execute autonomously effective communications at a specified communication timing.

SOLUTION: The communication timing control apparatus, which is installed on each node that constitutes a communication system, determines a transmission timing of a timing signal at self node using receiving timings of timing signals from other nodes. Based on the transmission timing and the receiving timings of timing signals from other nodes, the communication timing control apparatus determines transmission time slots for data signals. The communication timing control apparatus has a response timing signal transmission means for transmitting response timing signals when receiving timing signals from other nodes, and a communication timing control means for determining a transmission timing of a timing signal from self node using receiving timings of response timing signals.
