Abstract
A communication control apparatus includes a signal receiver for receiving a state variable signal indicating a timing of data transmission from a neighboring node. The apparatus also includes a calculator for forming a communication timing, by varying plural phase signals different in oscillation period in response to the state variable signal, synchronizing respective states of the phase signals so that they interact with each other, and temporally multiplexing plural data transmission periods different in time slot width and representing a transmission time period between its own node and the neighboring node based on respective oscillation periods of the phase signals. The calculator includes a state manager for managing states of phase signals for the own node and the neighboring node different in oscillation period, and prescribing an order relationship of time-slot allocation.
