Patent ID: 8495216

Claim:
A communication control system comprising: at least one communication terminal; a management apparatus that manages the communication terminal; and a wireless communication network in which the communication terminal and the management apparatus are communicable with each other, wherein the communication terminal notifies, to the management apparatus, a generated data amount indicating a data amount that an application requests to be transmitted and a communication data amount indicating a data amount transmitted to the wireless communication network, wherein the management apparatus includes a processor and a memory coupled to each other, the processor and the memory cooperating to function as: a calculating unit adapted to calculate an effective bandwidth indicating a maximum value of the communication data amount usable in wireless communication by all communication terminals in the communication control system, based on the generated data amount and the communication data amount notified from the communication terminal; an obtaining unit adapted to obtain attribute information indicating whether or not the communication terminal is able to control the generated data amount; and a restricting unit adapted to restrict wireless communication by the communication terminal, based on the effective bandwidth calculated by the calculating unit and based on the attribute information obtained by the obtaining unit, and wherein, in a case where a value of a new effective bandwidth calculated by the calculating unit decreases compared with a previously set effective bandwidth, the restricting unit selects a communication terminal that is able to control the generated data amount, based on the attribute information obtained by the obtaining unit, and instructs the selected communication terminal to reduce the generated data amount.
