Patent ID: 8208432

Claim:
Communication equipment for allocating a communication resource region which is used for communication with equipment of a communicating party, comprising: a data distribution system that classifies data, which is an object of communication in communication with the equipment of the communicating party, into small-volume real-time data (RTD), large-volume RTD, and non-real-time data (nRTD) and distributes the data; a first scheduler that based on a result of the distribution by the data distribution system allocates the communication resource region to the small-volume RTD, the first scheduler allocating to the small-volume RTD the communication resource region which has not been allocated to any other small-volume RTD and over which the highest communication quality is ensured, when allocating the communication resource region to the equipment of the communicating party for the first time; a second scheduler that allocates the communication resource region to the large-volume RTD and the nRTD, the second scheduler allocating, after the first scheduler completes the allocation of the communication resource region, the communication resource region to the large-volume RTD with priority over the nRTD; and a communication system that performs communication with the equipment of the communicating party according to a result of scheduling by the first scheduler and the second scheduler.
