Abstract
There is provided a transmission apparatus that transmits information generated by an information source and divided for each block to a transmission path in units of frames including a plurality of the blocks, including: a transmission unit that stops the transmission of information to the transmission path or transmits toggle data to the transmission path in one of several blocks in the frame where an amount of information to be transmitted is less than a transmission capacity of the transmission path, the toggle data having a cycle of transition of information longer than that of information in a block other than the one block in the frame.
Claims21
A transmission apparatus that transmits information generated by an information source and divided for each block to a transmission path in units of frames including a plurality of the blocks, comprising:
- a transmission unit that stops the transmission of information to the transmission path or transmits toggle data to the transmission path in one of several blocks in the frame where an amount of information to be transmitted is less than a transmission capacity of the transmission path, the toggle data having a cycle of transition of information longer than that of information in a block other than the one block in the frame.
A communications system, comprising:
- a master apparatus;
- and
- a slave apparatus that transmits information generated by an information source and divided for each block to the master apparatus via a transmission path in units of frames including a plurality of the blocks in accordance with an instruction from the master apparatus,
- the slave apparatus including a transmission unit that stops the transmission of information to the transmission path or transmits toggle data to the transmission path in one of several blocks in the frame, where an amount of information generated by the information source is less than a transmission capacity of the transmission path, the toggle data having a cycle of transition of information longer than that of information in a block other than the one block in the frame.
An information transmission method of transmitting information generated by an information source and divided for each block to a transmission path in units of frames including a plurality of the blocks, comprising:
- stopping the transmission of information to the transmission path or transmitting toggle data to the transmission path in one of several blocks in the frame, where an amount of information generated by the information source is less than a transmission capacity of the transmission path, the toggle data having a cycle of transition of information longer than that of information in a block other than the one block in the frame.
