Communication apparatus and communication system

A communication apparatus, comprising:

• a decoder that decodes an HDMI signal included in a first packet received from a communication partner device by a TDD communication system;
• an encoder that generates a second packet including a response signal to the communication partner device on a basis of the HDMI signal from the communication partner device;
• and
• a communication unit that transmits the second packet to the communication partner device for each TDD burst period in the TDD communication system.

A communication system, comprising:

• a first communication apparatus;
• and
• a second communication apparatus that alternately transmits/receives information to/from the first communication apparatus within a period assigned by a time division duplex (TDD) communication system,
• the first communication apparatus including
• an encoder that generates a first packet of the TDD communication system, the first packet including a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) signal, and
• a communication unit that transmits the first packet to the second communication apparatus for each of a plurality of divided periods obtained by dividing one TDD burst period in the TDD communication system,
• the second communication apparatus including
• a decoder that decodes an HDMI signal included in the first packet received from the first communication apparatus by the TDD communication system,
• an encoder that generates a second packet including a response signal to the first communication apparatus on a basis of the HDMI signal from the first communication apparatus, and
• a communication unit that transmits the second packet to the first communication apparatus for each TDD burst period of an Up link in the TDD communication system.
