Abstract

A control apparatus that controls one or more first communication apparatuses and one or more second communication apparatuses configured to identify a logic level of a signal, the control apparatus includes a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: acquire, from one of the one or more second communication apparatuses, a length of an undefined time period during which a level of the signal is undefined; determine, based on the length of the undefined time period, a length of a protection time period indicating a time period during which a logic level of the signal received by the second communication apparatus is maintained at a same level; and determine, based on the length of the protection time period, a rate of a signal transmitted to one of the one or more second communication apparatuses by one of the one or more first communication apparatuses.
