Abstract
A communication method for transmitting a control signal from a first communication apparatus to a second communication apparatus, wherein the first communication apparatus performs a retransmission process in which the control signal is transmitted repeatedly until a positive acknowledgment signal is received or until a termination condition is satisfied, and the second communication apparatus that received the control signal transmits the positive acknowledgment signal to the first communication apparatus and determines, based on a period of time, a control start timing for starting control commanded by the control signal.
Claims14
A communication method for transmitting a control signal from a first communication apparatus to a second communication apparatus, wherein
- said first communication apparatus performs a retransmission process in which said control signal is transmitted repeatedly until a positive acknowledgment signal is received or until a termination condition is satisfied, and
- said second communication apparatus that received said control signal transmits said positive acknowledgment signal to said first communication apparatus and determines, based on a period of time, a control start timing for starting control commanded by said control signal.
A communication apparatus for use in a communication system including a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus, as said second communication apparatus, said second communication apparatus comprising:
- a positive acknowledgment signal transmitting unit which transmits a positive acknowledgment signal to said first communication apparatus when said second communication apparatus received a control signal;
- and
- a start timing determining unit which, when said second communication apparatus received said control signal, determines, based on a period of time, a control start timing for starting control commanded by said control signal.
A communication apparatus for use in a communication system including a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus, as said first communication apparatus, said first communication apparatus comprising:
- a transmitting unit which performs a retransmission process in which a control signal is transmitted repeatedly until a positive acknowledgment signal indicating correct reception of said control signal by said second communication apparatus is received or until a termination condition is satisfied;
- and
- a start timing determining unit which, when said first communication apparatus received said positive acknowledgment signal, determines, based on a period of time, a control start timing for starting control commanded by said control signal.
