Abstract
A signal transfer management apparatus manages operations of a plurality of signal transfer devices. The signal transfer management apparatus includes a gate calculation unit configured to calculate a gate start time of each of uplink time gates and a gate start time of each of downlink time gates of a plurality of signal transfer devices and open each of the time gates, a comparison unit configured to compare uplink time synchronization messages from the plurality of slave devices to a master device and detect a conflict between the uplink time synchronization messages, and an offset unit configured to, when the comparison unit detects a conflict, adjusts the gate start time of each of the uplink time gates and the gate start time of each of the downlink time gates of the signal transfer devices and set the adjusted gate start times in the signal transfer devices.
