Abstract

In a signal transmission system including: one or more first communication devices that accommodate one or more wireless terminals that transmit a plurality of traffic flows; and an optical transmission device that transmits a signal transmitted between the first communication devices and a second communication device, each of the first communication devices includes a communication control unit that performs scheduling of time and frequency for each of the traffic flows and transmits scheduling result information indicating a result of the scheduling and traffic flow information indicating a state of the traffic flows in a wireless section to the optical transmission device, and the optical transmission device includes an optical transmission control unit that allocates a wavelength in a wired section to each of the traffic flows for each time section on a basis of the scheduling result information and the traffic flow information transmitted from the communication control unit.
