Abstract
There is provided a terminal apparatus including a message monitor to gather transmission request information from each of first and second terminating apparatus, a dynamic bandwidth allocation unit to allocate each transmission band in accordance with the gathered transmission request information, determine a size and an alignment position of a time slot in accordance with the allocated transmission band, determine a transmission start time of the time slot, and allocate an extinction period so as to stop a transmission of an optical signal between a time slot of the optical signal with the second transmission rate and a time slot following the time slot of the optical signal with the second transmission rate, and a MAC controller to generate a control frame for notifying each of the first and second terminating apparatus of the transmission start time and the size of the time slot.
