PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of accessing a communication channel of a network including a plurality of stations. SOLUTION: A method of accessing a communication channel of a network including a plurality of stations includes: a step of setting a contention window where a plurality of stations contend for access to the communication channel; a step of allocating prioritys to the contention window; a step of initializing a back-off counter with a back-off count equal to the number of back-off time slots of a random number; a step of waiting until the arrival of the contention window having priority corresponding to the transmission priority of a specified station; a step of subtracting from the back-off counter during a channel is unused; a step of attempting the reservation of the communication channel after the back-off counter is terminated; and a step of adjusting a size of the contention window as a function of the number of the plurality of stations which contends for the communication channel in the contention window.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication system in which a transmission rate is hardly reduced, and which has much more nodes. SOLUTION: The communication system is provided with a first communication system which uses an existent multi-branch wired telecommunications network 50 as a signal transmission line, a second communication system which uses a distribution line 10 arranged in houses 2A, 2B, ..., as a signal transmission line, and a signal relay means 20 which performs communication between both the systems. In the first communication system, a first PLC MODEM 11 connected with a high-order network 300 is provided in a communication trunk 52a. In the second communication system, a second PLC MODEM 12 is provided in the distribution line 10. The signal relay means 20 includes two MODEM parts (first MODEM part 21 and a second MODEM part 22) for communication with the first PLC MODEM 11 and with the second PLC MODEM 12. Communication between different signal transmission lines is performed by the signal relay means 20. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relay amplifier capable of preventing the oscillation of an amplifier for recovering a gain of a communication signal with a simple configuration, and being made small in size and reduced in price. SOLUTION: The relay amplifier is provided at a branch point of power lines in power line communication and amplifies the communication signal. The relay amplifier includes: a signal coupler connected to both ends of the branch points to transmit / receive the communication signal to the power lines; and an amplifier for amplifying the communication signal received from the signal coupler.

The present invention provides a path setting method for automatically setting network paths. The path setting method for generating paths in a network including a plurality of relay stations and a parent station which are connected with each other through a transmission line, comprises the steps of allowing each of the parent station and the plurality of relay stations to transmit basic information including its own identifier and its own path setting status, by means of a repetitive broadcast, allowing the relay station receiving the basic information to recognize the parent station or another relay station having a temporary path set thereto and transmit its own receiving-environment table including a transmission quality on the transmission line to the recognized station, allowing the another relay station receiving the receiving-environment table to forward it to the parent station through the use of the temporary path so as to notify the receiving-environment table to the parent station, and allowing the parent station receiving the forwarded receiving-environment table to set a temporary path to the relay station which has transmitted the receiving-environment table. In this manner, the parent station collects the transmission qualities on the inter-station transmission lines stepwise in order of the closest relay station to the farthest relay station to automatically set the paths.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent communication data from disappearing when switching physical wiring. SOLUTION: Before switching wiring of a physical wiring changeover switch 10, a communication stop instruction section 120 of a controller 100 instructs an IT device connected to the physical wiring changeover switch 10 to stop communication for a fixed time and to hold a communication bit stream to be transmitted in a temporary storage region. The stop of communication for the fixed time is instructed utilizing a exclusive control line between the controller 100 and the IT device, an idle port of the physical wiring changeover switch 10, and the like.
