Abstract

In a data transmission system, a data transmission method, a data transmitting apparatus and a data transmitting method according to this invention, in carrying out transmission of data at a predetermined transmit period from the server unit to the terminal equipment, an interrupt signal is generated at a scheduling period longer than a predetermined transmit period to carry out transmitting control of data every predetermined transmit period on the basis of quantity of transmittable data within one scheduling period unit. Thus, overhead of isochronous packet is reduced, thus making it possible to improve transmission efficiency.
