Patent attributes
To provide a transceiving technology that controls the mounting area of a circuit pertaining to transmission and/or reception and where the utilization efficiency of a buffer is improved. In a transmission side circuit, there are disposed a transmission side first circuit component that generates a first packet that follows a request and a transmission side second circuit component that is a lower-level circuit component of the transmission side first circuit component, includes a transmission buffer and temporarily stores in the transmission buffer, and transmits, a second packet that includes the first packet. The second packet includes a second header portion and a second data portion. In the second data portion that the second packet that is transmitted from the transmission side second circuit component includes, there is included the first packet, and in the second header portion, there is included a predetermined value as a parameter value that represents the type of the second packet. The predetermined value is a value that represents a predetermined one second packet type of plural second packet types.
