Abstract: According to an embodiment, previous data group input time is subtracted from current data group input time in order to obtain a difference time each time a data group is input. The difference time is subtracted from a packet transmission interval in order to obtain an interval difference. The interval difference is added to a total difference time. If the total difference time is not greater than the first predetermined value, then the input data group is transmitted as a packet. Otherwise, the input data group is discarded and the total difference time is initialized to a value obtained by subtracting the packet transmission interval from the first predetermined value, if the total difference time is greater than the first predetermined value.
