Abstract
A management apparatus for managing a wireless network includes a storage storing unset communication links other than previously set communication links for a wireless communication via the wireless network among previously prepared communication links and a manager configured to divide each communication link stored in the storage into a plurality of communication links and to set the plurality of communication links in accordance with a setting request of communication links.
Claims17
A management apparatus for managing a wireless network, the management apparatus comprising:
- a storage storing unset communication links other than previously set communication links for a wireless communication via the wireless network among previously prepared communication links;
- and
- a manager configured to divide each communication link stored in the storage into a plurality of communication links and to set the plurality of communication links in accordance with a setting request of communication links, wherein
- when the manager forms a plurality of communication links having a same interval, the manager is configured to assign a higher priority to each of the plurality of communication links as the priority of the communication link, which is divided to form the plurality of communication links, increases, and
- when the manager repeatedly divides a single communication link to form a plurality of communication links, the manager is configured to assign a higher priority to each of the plurality of communication links as the interval of each of the plurality of communication links increases.

A management apparatus for managing a wireless network, the management apparatus comprising:
- a storage storing unset communication links other than previously set communication links for a wireless communication via the wireless network among previously prepared communication links;
- and
- a manager configured to divide each communication link stored in the storage into a plurality of communication links and to set the plurality of communication links in accordance with a setting request of communication links, wherein
- when there is one communication link, which is setting-cancelled, the manager is configured to combine the one communication link, which is setting-cancelled, and other communication link stored in the storage and to store the combined communication link into the storage in accordance with one priority assigned to the one communication link, which is setting-cancelled, and other priorities assigned to the communication links stored in the storage.

A management apparatus for managing a wireless network, the management apparatus comprising:
- a storage storing unset communication links other than previously set communication links for a wireless communication via the wireless network among previously prepared communication links;
- and
- a manager configured to divide each communication link stored in the storage into a plurality of communication links and to set the plurality of communication links in accordance with a setting request of communication links, wherein
- when the manager divides the communication link having an interval X1 and an offset Y1 into N parts, the manager is configured to form N communication links, and each of the N communication links has an interval X2 and an offset Y2 represented by the following equation (1):
- X2=X1*N
- Y2=Y1+(i*X1) (1)
- where, in the equation (1), N is an integer equal to or greater than 2, and the variable i is an integer satisfying 0≦i<N.

A management apparatus for managing a wireless network, the management apparatus comprising:
- a storage storing unset communication links other than previously set communication links for a wireless communication via the wireless network among previously prepared communication links;
- and
- a manager configured to divide each communication link stored in the storage into a plurality of communication links and to set the plurality of communication links in accordance with a setting request of communication links, wherein
- the manager determines whether one communication link having a same interval as that requested in the setting request is stored in the storage,
- when the one communication link having the same interval as that requested in the setting request is stored in the storage, the manager is configured to set the one communication link stored in the storage,
- when the one communication link having the same interval as that requested in the setting request is not stored in the storage, the manager is configured to divide other communication link having an interval smaller than that requested in the setting request among the communication links stored in the storage to form a divided communication link having the same interval as that requested in the setting request and to set the divided communication link.
