Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a control program causing a control device which controls transmission timings of a plurality of communication devices existing under a network device and each transmitting a data signal toward the network device at a transmission period being associated with each of the communication devices, to execute processing of:
determining a plurality of collision-occurrence-estimated devices for which transmission collision is estimated to occur due to overlapping of transmission schedule timings among the plurality of communication devices,
executing transmission control of transmitting, to each of some of the plurality of collision-occurrence-estimated devices, each of a plurality of timing distribution control signals for distributing transmission timings of the plurality of collision-occurrence-estimated devices; and
executing transmission control of allocating, from a plurality of data rates whose diffusion rates differ from one another, a use data rate to each of some or all of the plurality of timing distribution control signals, in such a way that use data rates being associated with the plurality of timing distribution control signals are distributed, and transmitting each timing distribution control signal by use of a use data rate allocated to each timing distribution control signal.
