1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit data in a first transmission time slot, which has been assigned within a frame in order to transmit data from said communication apparatus; and
a reserving unit configured to reserve, in a case where data cannot be transmitted in the first transmission time slot, a second transmission time slot for transmitting the data, which cannot be transmitted, within the frame having the first transmission time slot,wherein said reserving unit reserves the second transmission time slot whose position is later than position of the first transmission time slot.

Abstract
A communication apparatus performs communication of data using assigned time slots within a frame. In a case where data cannot be transmitted in a transmission time slot that has been assigned in order to transmit data, a time slot later than this transmission time slot is reserved as a time slot used to transmit the data, this later time slot being reserved within the frame having the transmission time slot in which the data cannot be transmitted.

12. A communication system having a plurality of communication apparatuses, wherein a first communication apparatus comprises:
-
a transmitting unit configured to transmit data in a first transmission time slot, which has been assigned within a frame in order to transmit data from said first communication apparatus; and a reserving unit configured to reserve, in a case where data cannot be transmitted in the first transmission time slot, a second transmission time slot for transmitting the data, which cannot be transmitted, within the frame having the first transmission time slot, wherein said reserving unit reserves the second transmission time slot whose position is later than position of the first transmission time slot; and a second communication apparatus comprises; a detecting unit configured to detect the second transmission time slot reserved by said reserving unit of said first communication apparatus; and a changing unit configured to change time slot assignment of the frame in which the second transmission time slot has been reserved, based upon the reservation detected by said detecting unit.

13. A method of controlling a communication apparatus, comprising:
-
a transmitting step of transmitting data in a first transmission time slot, which has been assigned within a frame in order to transmit data from said communication apparatus; and a reserving step of reserving, in a case where data cannot be transmitted in the first transmission time slot, a second transmission time slot for transmitting the data, which cannot be transmitted, within the frame having the first transmission time slot, wherein the reserving unit reserves the second transmission tame slot whose position is later than position of the first transmission time slot. - View Dependent Claims (14)
