Abstract
It is objected to simplify a procedure concerning bandwidth acquisition. Bandwidth acquiring means of a second transmitting apparatus acquires a bandwidth which was used by a first transmitting apparatus by using a propagation delay identifier read from first transmitting apparatus and a maximum transmission data size after stopping transmission of first transmitting apparatus Each apparatus is composed so that transmission is started using this bandwidth and because returning and re-acquisition are not accompanied when the transmission is switched, necessary procedure can be simplified. Further, it is possible to effectively use the bandwidth by using a propagation delay identifier.
