Abstract
A scheduled transmission path of each packet to be transmitted is so determined that the order of predicted arrival time at a reception node is equal to the order of arrival time at a transmission node from estimate values of delay and velocity of each path. Only a packet predicted to arrive within the maximum permissible delay of each path is transmitted among the packets. This enables both of optimum allocation of the load between the paths and the prevention of a delay increase due to multiplexing.
