Abstract
According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes one or more processors. The processors prefetch a scheduling entry corresponding a future time period in advance from scheduling information including one or more scheduling entries, each entry of which contains a transmission state and an interval for each of one or more transmission queues. The processors determine a starting time of transmission for one or more frames waiting for transmission in each queue, based on the scheduling entry. At least one of timing of the prefetching process and timing of the scheduling process is determined based on a result of comparison of a time difference and one or more thresholds. The time difference is a difference between current time and future time where the future time is a candidate for starting time of transmission.
