Abstract
The present invention allows a reduction in power consumed by communications between devices over a network. A transmission-side device transmits a signal including a wake up signal, path information, and a main data signal in this order to the following relay device (switch/router). The relay device activates a circuit in a standby state on a path on the basis of the wake up signal and the path information. Relay devices on the path are sequentially activated, and the main data signal is finally received by a reception-side device.
