Abstract
According to one embodiment, a communication device includes one or more processors. The one or more processors configured to function as a plurality of communication control units and a selection unit. The plurality of communication control units control communication in accordance with a plurality of control schemes that differ from each other. The selection unit selects a communication control unit for use in communication from the communication control units based on selection criteria.
Claims6
A communication device comprising:
- a plurality of communication controllers configured to control communication in accordance with a plurality of control schemes that differ from each other;
- and
- a selector configured to select a communication controller for use in communication from the communication controllers based on selection criteria, wherein
- the communication controllers include a first communication controller that controls communication using a time-division multiplexing scheme;
- the selection criteria represent a communication schedule for the time-division multiplexing scheme, the communication schedule specifying a time from which the first communication controller is used and specifying a time from which a communication controller other than the first communication controller is used,
- the selector selects the first communication controller or the communication controller other than the first controller based on the specified time, and
- the selection criteria include a plurality of communication schedules that are switched in accordance with time.
A communication method implemented by a communication device including a plurality of communication controllers that control communication in accordance with a plurality of control schemes that differ from each other, the communication method comprising:
- selecting a communication controller for use in communication from the communication controllers based on selection criteria, wherein
- the communication controllers include a first communication controller that controls communication using a time-division multiplexing scheme;
- the selection criteria represent a communication schedule for the time-division multiplexing scheme, the communication schedule specifying a time from which the first communication controller is used and specifying a time from which a communication controller other than the first communication controller is used,
- the selecting includes selecting the first communication controller or the communication controller other than the first controller based on the specified time, and
- the selection criteria include a plurality of communication schedules that are switched in accordance with time.
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium including programmed instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer including a plurality of communication controllers that control communication in accordance with a plurality of control schemes that differ from each other, cause the computer to perform:
- selecting a communication controller for use in communication from the communication controllers based on selection criteria, wherein
- the communication controllers include a first communication controller that controls communication using a time-division multiplexing scheme;
- the selection criteria represent a communication schedule for the time-division multiplexing scheme, the communication schedule specifying a time from which the first communication controller is used and specifying a time from which a communication controller other than the first communication controller is used,
- the selecting includes selecting the first communication controller or the communication controller other than the first controller based on the specified time, and
- the selection criteria include a plurality of communication schedules that are switched in accordance with time.
