(Prior art and its problems) Communication in which there are multiple communication partners and the same information is transferred to multiple destinations at the same time is called broadcast communication. Conventionally, when performing retransmission control in broadcast communication, as the number of receiving stations increases, the amount of control information that the transmitting station must hold increases compared to the case of one-to-one communication, and the control for retransmission also increases. It becomes complicated. That is, the transmitting station needs to grasp and maintain the reception status of each receiving station from the reception responses from each receiving station, and also requires processing to prevent duplication of retransmissions. However, considering the need for the spread of broadcast communication that is expected to occur in the future, there are certain
It is considered important that broadcast communication can be performed not only from the second station but also from any station, that is, any station can serve as a transmitting station for broadcast communication. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the burden on the transmitting station of broadcast type communication, and it is also desirable that broadcast type communication can be performed at the transmitting station using the same procedure as one-to-one communication as much as possible.

(Detailed Description of Configuration) The basic configuration of the present invention will be explained in detail below using the drawings. FIG. 1 is a basic configuration diagram of the present invention. In the figure, 1-1 is a transmitting station, 1-2 is a broadcast communication server introduced according to the present invention, and 1-31 to 1-3n are receiving stations. The information frame transmitted from the transmitting station is sent to the broadcast communication server 1-2 and each receiving station 1-
31 to 1-3n. The broadcast communication server transmits a reception response to the transmitting station according to its own reception status. Each of the other receiving stations transmits a reception response to the broadcast communication server according to its reception status. The transmitting station performs retransmission control by looking only at reception responses from the broadcast communication server, as if performing one-to-one communication with the broadcast communication server, but the information frame transmitted from the transmitting station Alternatively, the retransmitted frame is received by all receiving stations. The broadcast communication server stores information frames received from transmitting stations until it is confirmed that all receiving stations have received the information frames normally. The broadcast communication server receives reception responses from each receiving station,
If the own station receives a retransmission request for an information frame that is generally normally received, it performs retransmission control such as retransmitting the information frame. A retransmission request for an information frame that the broadcast communication server itself has not received normally will be ignored.

As described above, all communications that would normally be performed between a transmitting station and a plurality of receiving stations are broken down into three parts and performed via a broadcast communication server. Only one-way communication takes place between the transmitting station and each receiving station, with the receiving station receiving the information frame sent from the transmitting station, and normal one-to-one communication occurs between the transmitting station and the broadcast communication server. The same exchange takes place. Exchanges that would normally take place between a transmitting station and a receiving station in broadcast communication take place between the broadcast communication server and each receiving station.

The stop-and-wait method is a method in which information frames are sent one by one, and the sending side repeats retransmission until the receiving side confirms that the previous information frame has been successfully received, and then sends a new information frame. Can not. Since the receiving station also always receives data only in order, it can basically do this by having a receiving buffer for only one information frame. Here, a case will be described in which the broadcast communication server and receiving stations 1 and 2 each have a buffer for only one information frame.

First, the information frame I(1) sent from the transmitting station at time 1 is received by the broadcast communication server and receiving stations 1 and 2 at time 2, but here it is assumed that receiving station 2 receives the frame in error. Receipt confirmation A(1) from the broadcast communication server is sent to the transmitting station, receipt confirmation A(1) from receiving station 1 and retransmission request N from receiving station 2.
(1) each arrive at the broadcast server at time 3. The transmitting station, having received the reception confirmation A(1) from the broadcast communication server, transmits the information frame I(2) at time 3.
Send. On the other hand, the broadcast communication server receives the retransmission request N(1) from receiving station 2, so it retransmits the request.
Perform I'(1). At time point 4, the broadcast communication server receives information frame I(2) from the transmitting station, but 1
Since reception confirmation of the previous information frame I(1) has not yet been obtained from the receiving station 2, I(1) is still held in the buffer of only one frame, and therefore the newly arrived information frame I (2) could not be received due to buffer overflow and retransmission request N
(2) is sent back. At time 4, a new information frame I(2) from the transmitting station and a retransmission frame I'(1) from the broadcast communication server arrive at receiving stations 1 and 2, but I(1) is already normal at receiving station 1. Since reception has finished, receiving station 2 receives I(2).
So, since I(1) has not been received yet,
Receive I'(1). Receiving station 1 confirms reception A (2)
, the receiving station 1 sends a reception confirmation A(1) back to the broadcast communication server. At time 5, the transmitting station receives retransmission request N(2) from the broadcast communication server, so
Resend I'(2). The broadcast communication server does nothing because the reception responses from receiving stations 1 and 2 are reception confirmations. Retransmitted frame from transmitting station at time 6
I'(2) is the broadcast communication server and receiving stations 1 and 2
arrive at. Receiving station 1 has already received I(2) normally, so it does not receive it, but broadcast communication server and receiving station 2 receive I'(2) and each sends a reception confirmation A.
Send (2). Although a simple embodiment has been described above, it is also possible to use a more complicated retransmission control method.
