Abstract

Node c, which is connected by two different protocols, that is, the IEEE 1394 as a line transmission system and the radio transmission system, becomes the bus manager through bus arbitration, and allocates ID to each of nodes a to d in the network. In data transmission, the transmission rate informing part in node c informs each of nodes a to c of the maximum rate in the radio transmission system. The communication procedure converting part and the signaling type converting part in node c convert into the communication procedure and the signaling type suitable for the radio transmission system, and transmit the converted data to node d in the radio network through a communicating part for transmission system B, thereby enabling real time data transmission.
