A plurality of PLC adapters, such as a master 21 and slaves 22, are connected to a power line 11, which forms a PLC logic network 16. Electric apparatuses 48, such as a television monitor and a video recorder, are connected to the master 21 and the slaves 22 through repeaters 31. The master 21 is a control terminal having the function of QoS controller. The master 21 allocates timeslots for transmitting data over a network, acquires information on the actual data transmission rate detected by a data receiving terminal, and modifies the timeslot allocated to target data on the basis of the acquired information on the actual data transmission rate.
