COMMUNICATION NETWORK, TRANSMISSION TIMING DETERMINATION METHOD, SLAVE STATION NODE, AND MASTER STATION NODE

摘要

To effectively prevent information frames from being discarded while reducing equipment costs of a communication network.SOLUTION: A network according to one aspect of the present invention is a communication network including a plurality of communication nodes. The plurality of communication nodes include: one or more first information nodes that determine, according to local time of themselves with time synchronization established, transmission timing of information frames destined to an aggregation device generated by themselves; and one or more second information nodes that determine, according to a transmission request received from another station with time synchronization established, transmission timing of information frames destined to the aggregation device generated by themselves.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
