Patent attributes
A time division multiplex transmission system transmits information on multiple channels by using a transmission path with variable time division multiplexing. The variable time division multiplex transmission system of this invention is equipped with multiple channel devices 30 and a single transmission path 5 connected to these multiple channel devices. The multiple channel devices 30 transmit or receive data over the transmission path. Additionally, the system is equipped with a circuit that determines consecutive time slots for using the transmission path, and each of the channel devices transmits or receives data using consecutive time slots. Data can be transmitted in two or more different transmission bands, and the different transmission bands are realized by making the number of time slots used for a communication frame different.
