Abstract:
1. A communication apparatus comprising: a first storage section configured to store a first communication throughput, a first reference value of the first communication throughput and a first reference adjustment value to adjust the first reference value for each of one or more another communication apparatuses and the communication apparatus; a calculating section configured to determine that a current communication throughput between the communication apparatus and a center apparatus exceeds the first reference value of the communication apparatus, and in response to said determination, (i) to request the one or more another communication apparatuses to transmit a second communication throughput, a second reference value of the second communication throughput and a second reference adjustment value to the communication apparatus and (ii) to calculate a third reference value of each of the one or more another communication apparatuses and the communication apparatus based on the current communication throughput, the first reference value of the communication apparatus, the second communication throughput, the second reference value, the second reference adjustment value and the first reference adjustment value of the communication apparatus; an updating section configured to update the first reference value in the first storage section with the corresponding third reference value for the one or more another communication apparatuses and the communication apparatus; a transmitter section configured to transmit, to the one or more another communication apparatuses, the corresponding third reference value and a request to update a corresponding second storage section of the one or more another communication apparatuses with the corresponding third reference value; and a receiver section configured to receive a calculated reference value transmitted from the one or more another communication apparatuses and update the corresponding first reference value in the first storage section with the calculated reference value.
