Scheduling apparatus, scheduling method and communication control apparatus

Abstract

A scheduling apparatus of the present invention includes a first element which stores a pair comprising (1) an identifier for identifying a communication event and (2) time information. The time information shows the time for executing the communication event and is represented by floating point data having an accuracy necessary for the communication event. The scheduling apparatus has a second element which reads out the identifier from the first element by using current time information which is represented by the floating point data. A communication control apparatus of the present invention includes a first element which outputs time information and an identifier which identifies the communication event corresponding to the time information. The time information shows time of executing a communication event and is represented as floating point data having an accuracy necessary for communicating the communication event. The communication control apparatus has a second element which receives the time information and the identifier from the first element and stores a pair comprising (1) the time information and (2) the identifier and a third element which reads out the identifier from the second element by using current time information which is represented by floating point data.
