Abstract:
1. A regulation control system comprising: a radio base-station apparatus; and a radio communication terminal unit, the radio base-station apparatus including: communication means for communicating with the radio communication terminal unit to communicate information on a congestion state when congestion occurs at the communication means; regulation control means for determining regulation information including a regulation rate and a regulation unit time relating to communication regulation by use of the information on the congestion state communicated from the communication means; and communication information transmitting means for transmitting the regulation information including the regulation rate and the regulation unit time, the radio communication terminal unit including: timer generator means for storing the regulation unit time included in the regulation information transmitted from the communication information transmitting means of the radio base-station apparatus, and outputting a communication regulation state change instruction at a cycle corresponding to the regulation unit time, random-number generating means for generating a random number; and regulation propriety determining means for outputting to the random-number generating means a random-number obtaining request to obtain a random number upon receipt of the communication regulation state change instruction output from the timer generator means, and comparing the random number generated by the random-number generating means and the regulation rate included in the regulation information transmitted from the communication information transmitting means of the radio base-station apparatus so as to determine, without regard to whether a communication request is currently pending, whether communication of the radio communication terminal unit should be regulated, wherein, in the event of a subsequent communication request the communication of the radio communication terminal unit is regulated in accordance with the communication regulation state determination of the regulation propriety determining means.
