Communication control apparatus for adjusting a transmission timing with a timing variation, and method therefor
First Claim
1. A communication control apparatus included in one of a plurality of nodes constituting a telecommunications system, said apparatus comprising:
- a communication timing signal transmitter/receiver for receiving a first communication timing signal representative of a transmission timing of a data signal from a neighboring one of the plurality of nodes which adjoins said one node, and transmitting a second communication timing-signal of said one node;
a communication timing determining circuit for receiving a phase signal representative of a data transmission timing of the neighboring node in the first communication timing signal to vary a state of a phase of said one node according to a rule to thereby determine a transmission timing of the second communication timing signal in accordance with basic rate information and the first communication timing signal, the rule changing a rhythm of a nonlinear oscillation of the phase of said one node in response to an impulse signal in the first communication timing signal, the basic rate information defining a transmission timing of the second communication timing signal; and
a basic rate information controller for controlling the basic rate information used by said communication timing determining circuit.

Abstract
A communication control apparatus is included in each of nodes constituting a telecommunications system and includes a communication timing signal transmitter/receiver for receiving a communication timing signal representative of a transmission timing of a data signal from at least one neighboring node neighboring the own node, and transmitting the communication timing signal of the own node. In the apparatus, a communication timing determining circuit determines a transmission timing of the communication timing signal of the own node in accordance with basic rate information, which defines a transmission timing of the communication timing signal of the own node, and the communication timing signal received from the neighboring node. A basic rate information control circuit included in the apparatus controls the basic rate information used by the communication timing determining circuit.
