摘要:
A communication timing control apparatus for use in the nodes of a communication system includes a signal communication unit that transmits a state variable signal to neighboring nodes and receives state variable signals from those nodes. An external control signal, such as a beacon signal transmitted by a control node, is also received. The state variable signals indicate internal operating sates or timings of the nodes; the control signal indicates a basic transition rate. A timing decision unit causes internal state or timing transitions to occur at timings responsive to the basic transition rate and the received state variable signals, adjusting the transition timings so as to avoid signal collisions and to adapt to changing system conditions. Use of the control signal enables a steady timing state to be reached quickly.

摘要:
Each node in a communication system transmits and receives state variable signals indicating internal node states or timings, generates transitions in its internal state or timing at a basic rate but at timings adjusted according to the received state variable signals, transmits data in time slots synchronized to the output state variable signals, receives data signals from the other nodes, detects collisions between the received data signals, and changes the timing of its time slots when a collision is detected, by shifting the phase of the transitions, or by inserting additional dummy transitions and transmitting corresponding dummy output state variable signals. The nodes can thereby assign their own time slots and avoid collisions autonomously.

摘要:
Each node in a communication system transmits and receives state variable signals indicating internal node states or timings. A single node may transmit two or more differently phased series of state variable signals. Neighboring nodes interact by adjusting the timing phase at which they transmit each series of state variable signals according to the timing of state variable signals transmitted in other series, and state variable signals received from other nodes. The nodes can thereby establish time slots in which they can transmit data without collisions, and different nodes can receive different total amounts of time slot width by transmitting different numbers of series of state variable signals.

摘要:
Each node on a communication path receives state variable signals from other nodes indicating the internal operating states or internal timing of the other nodes, and transmits a state variable signal indicating its own internal operating state or timing. Transitions in the internal operating state or timing of a node take place at a basic transition rate but at times adjusted according to the state variable signals received from other nodes. The basic transition rate varies according to position on the communication path. The nodes can thereby establish transmitting time slots that follow each other in progression on the communication path, enabling data signals to be relayed from the starting node to the destination node with minimal delay at each intermediate node.

摘要:
Each node in a communication system receives state variable signals from other nodes indicating the internal operating states or internal timing of the other nodes, and transmits a state variable signal indicating its own internal operating state or timing. Each node also determines whether each received state variable signal is valid. Transitions in the internal operating state or timing of a node take place at a basic transition rate but at times adjusted according to the valid state variable signals received from other nodes. A group of neighboring nodes transmitting data signals can thereby autonomously reach a steady state in which their data signals do not collide, without having their timing control disrupted by reflected state variable signals or other invalid state variable signals.
