1. Technical Field
Aspects described herein relate to a communication device, a communication system, a communication method, and a computer readable recording medium configured to configure data transmission conditions in accordance with a network state and to perform communication under the configured transmission conditions.
2. Description of the Related Art
Communication devices capable of adjusting data transmission conditions in accordance with the network state and performing communication under the adjusted data transmission conditions are known. In the related art, for example, a communication device that adjusts a data transmission period in accordance with a communication load on a network has been proposed. The communication device is capable of reducing a data transmission period when the network bandwidth usage rate is low.
In some examples, a relay device that manages relay and transfer of data is located in a network. The relay device temporarily stores data received from a communication device. The stored data is relayed and transferred to another communication device at predetermined intervals. In this case, even if a communication device reduces the transmission period of the data, the relay device relays and transfers data at constant or consistent intervals. Thus, the communication between the communication devices may be delayed because the data transmission speed and timing depends on the constant/consistent transmission intervals of the relay device.
