Abstract
A bandwidth used in a network of a communication system is suppressed. Communication system includes master device and slave device. Master device includes: first counter that increments a first count value every time a first unit time elapses; second counter that updates a second count value every time a second unit time elapses; and master transmitter that transmits timing information indicating a timing at which the second count value is updated to slave device. Slave device includes: third counter that increments a third count value every time the first unit time elapses; fourth counter that increments a fourth count value every time a third unit time shorter than the first unit time lapses, and resets the fourth count value at a timing of incrementing the third count value; and slave receiver that receives the timing information from master transmitter.
