Patent number: 10104016Abstract: Provided are a device, a system, and a method in which redundancy is changed in accordance with a line state, and thus the optimal redundancy can be set while the current settings are compared to the previous settings. A communication device measures line quality information from a received packet, and generates a redundancy change instruction based on information regarding a line. In a case where the communication device acquires line quality information for the second and subsequent times, the communication device compares the previous redundancy change instruction and the previous line quality information, to the current line quality information, and sets redundancy. Thus, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of congestion and satisfy a target value of the line quality, and to search for a condition which causes the redundancy to be the minimum.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Takashi Takeuchi, Masayuki Miyazaki, Ryosuke Fujiwara
