A communication apparatus and a congestion regulation control method which execute regulation control at the time of congestion, thereby improving communication quality. A congestion monitor monitors a congestion state, sets a congestion level and determines whether or not to perform regulation based on the congestion level. Traffic measuring unit measures the number of received signals as a traffic intensity. A traffic comparitor compares the traffic intensity with a preset traffic-regulation start traffic intensity when it is determined that regulation is to be performed. A regulation control means performs traffic regulation control when a comparison result shows that the traffic intensity is equal to or greater than the traffic-regulation start traffic intensity, and performs regulation control on a maintenance and operation process when the traffic intensity is smaller than the traffic-regulation start traffic intensity.

Communication apparatus and congestion regulation control method

The present invention relates to a communication service control apparatus for controlling communication services in the public network, private network or a network such as a virtual private network not accompanied by geographical conditions or physical conditions such as apparatus and more particularly to a communication service control apparatus for controlling the charging process for the communication services. The service control apparatus 2 comprises an information supply means 21 for supplying a charging control information including charging conditions about a plurality of customers for demanding the tariff of communication services, a charging decision means 22 for deciding, based on the charging control information, to charge for the predetermined customer among the plural customers, and a charging recording means 23 for recording charging result information based on the charging decision means. Therefore, according to the communication service control apparatus of the present invention, since the tariff demanding customers are determined when a communication service is executed, flexible charging can be realized and charging information can be concentrically controlled and managed.
