Abstract:
1. A transmission control apparatus comprising: a communication unit configured to transmit content data to reception apparatuses, said communication unit being configured to receive transmission quality information from each of the reception apparatuses; a determination unit configured to use said transmission quality information from said each of the reception apparatuses to perform a comparison, said comparison identifying a transmission quality of a communication path between a relay apparatus and one of the reception apparatuses; a transmission control unit configured to generate a transmission start request, said transmission start request commanding only said one of the reception apparatuses to retransmit said content data through said communication path to said communication unit, wherein said transmission quality of the communication path is higher than a transmission quality of a different communication path, said different communication path being between said relay apparatus and a different one of the reception apparatuses.
