Abstract:
One problem in a related art is that the total throughput of a network decreases with an increase in the number of radio terminals or an increase in a traffic density of a radio communication.A communication system (1) according to the present invention includes a plurality of terminals and an access point (201) with which the terminals communicate. The communication system (1) includes means for acquiring the number of terminals in a communication network of the access point (201), means for dividing, based on the number of terminals, the plurality of terminals into groups so that each group includes the number of terminals equal to or smaller than the number of terminals permitted to communicate with the access point (201) within a predetermined period, means for allocating the group to the predetermined period, and means for determining, based on the group to which a terminal belongs, whether to permit data transmission within the predetermined period to which the group is allocated.
