Abstract:
A radio communication method of making a communication within a wireless network including one control node and more than one controlled nodes controlled by said control node, said radio communication method comprising the steps of:performing a communication control process in which said control node controls the transmission of each of said controlled nodes; transferring a fixed-length data block between each said nodes by using a predetermined time slot of a plurality of time slots provided within each consecutive cycle, wherein said control node manages the transmission of isochronous communication data of each of said controlled nodes at a unit of one of one cycle and a plurality of cycles in accordance with unit information when said transmission control process; and informing said control node of said unit information from each of said controlled nodes, wherein each of said controlled nodes calculates a total data length of isochronous communication data transmitted within one cycle, calculates a remainder by dividing said total data length with a data length of said data block, and acquires said unit information by the remainder.
