Abstract:
1. A communication system performing communication control of information comprising: a communication terminal device; and a communication control device, said communication terminal device performing a terminal-side buffer management control and comprising: a correspondence table management unit creating, based on table forming information sent from an upper device, a correspondence table defining a correspondence between an in-buffer information amount indicating an amount of information stored in a buffer and a buffer status value indicating the in-buffer information amount in a hierarchical expression; a buffer status value acquiring unit referring to the correspondence table and acquiring a buffer status value of a buffer that issues a transmission event; a notice information setting unit comparing, with regard to an identical buffer, a size relation between status information about past buffer status values for the buffer and a current buffer status value acquired, and setting notice information on a bit basis determined by the size relation; a terminal-side notice information management memory storing and managing the notice information as the status information; and a notice information sending unit sending the notice information by using one slot or a plurality of slots to notify the upper device of the buffer status, said communication control device performing an office-side buffer management control and comprising: a table forming information sending unit creating the table forming information and sending the table forming information to said communication terminal device; a control-side notice information management memory receiving and managing the notice information sent by said communication terminal device; and a buffer status recognizing unit recognizing the buffer status of said communication terminal device from a content of the control-side notice information management memory.
