Abstract
A communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a wireless host performing a master operation; a wired/wireless bridge device communicating with the wireless host via a radio link; and a plurality of devices connected with the wired/wireless bridge device via a wired link and performing a slave operation to communicate with the wireless host via the wired/wireless bridge device, the wired/wireless bridge device controlling transfer with the plurality of devices in accordance with a communication bandwidth of the radio link.
Claims21
A communication system, comprising:
- a wireless host performing a master operation;
- a wired/wireless bridge device communicating with the wireless host via a radio link;
- and
- at least one device connected with the wired/wireless bridge device via a wired link and performing a slave operation to communicate with the wireless host via the wired/wireless bridge device, wherein;
- the wired/wireless bridge device controlling transfer with the device depending on a communication bandwidth of the radio link.
A communication method for a wired/wireless bridge device that is connected with a wireless host performing a master operation via a radio link, and connected with at least one device that performs a slave operation to communicate with the wireless host via a wired link, and relays communication data between the wireless host and the device, the method comprising:
- controlling transfer with the device in accordance with a communication bandwidth of the radio link.
A wired/wireless bridge device for relaying communication data between a wireless host performing a master operation and at least one device performing a slave operation to communicate with the wireless host, comprising:
- a wireless communication unit transmitting/receiving packet data to/from the wireless host via a radio link;
- and
- a wired communication unit transmitting/receiving packet data to/from the device via a wired link, which limits transmission/reception of packet data to/from the device if a communication bandwidth of the radio link is below a threshold bandwidth that is set based on a transmission/reception amount of the packet data with the device.
