Patent attributes
A receiving terminal (400) has: a reception stack unit (410) which connects to a communication network; an issuance management unit (440) which transmits a data request packet; and an H-RTT measurement unit (450) which determines a timeout period until retransmission of the data request packet, and in accordance with the determined timeout period, performs retransmission of the data request packet until data is received by the reception stack unit (410). The reception stack unit (410) connects to the communication network via a plurality of communication interfaces. The issuance management unit (440) transmits the data request packet from each of the plurality of communication interfaces. The H-RTT measurement unit (450), for each of the communication interfaces, measures the RTT between the communication interface and a data-bearing node, and on the basis of the RTT, determines a timeout period.
