Abstract
It is an object of the invention to inhibit a drop in the data transmission efficiency due to the transmission of an interrupt signal. The invention provides a signal transmission method that is characterized in that a reception side and a transmission side partition data into a plurality of data fragments and send and receive the plurality of data fragments over at least two transmission lines, in that the transmission side transmits first data fragments of the plurality of data fragments over a first transmission line of the transmission lines, transmits data packets that include header information, a second data fragment that has the same bit length as the first data fragments, and footer information over a second transmission line other than the first transmission line, and transmits the first data fragments and the second data fragments in synchronization, and in that an interrupt signal for controlling the transmission side is transmitted from the reception side to the transmission side in a time slot that is an interval between first data fragments that are adjacent on the first transmission line.
