A communication system includes a transmission terminal and a reception terminal. One of the transmission terminal and the reception terminal includes a processor. The processor is configured to calculate an adjustment value indicating a difference between an imaging cycle and a display cycle. The processor is configured to cause the imaging cycle and the display cycle to match each other by adjusting a signal generator on the basis of the adjustment value. A connection history in which adjustment information and identification information of a communicator are associated with each other is recorded on a recording medium. The processor is configured to adjust the signal generator on the basis of the adjustment value indicated by the adjustment information when the first communicator and the second communicator connect to each other again.

Communication system and communication method

A reception device includes a wireless communicator, a memory, and one or more processors. The processors identify a retransmission candidate of image data on the basis of a sequence number recorded on the memory. The processors calculate an upper limit retransmission number on the basis of a physical rate and a communication rate recorded on the memory. The processors set an allowable retransmission number that is less than or equal to the upper limit retransmission number. The processors transmit a retransmission request for requesting retransmission of as many of the retransmission candidates as the allowable retransmission number to the transmission device in a blanking period by using the wireless communicator when the number of the retransmission candidates identified through the identification processing exceeds the allowable retransmission number.
