Abstract
An adequate transmission rate is guaranteed in a case where 'Inter-node UP aggregation' is being performed. In a mobile station according to the present invention, each of MAC layer functions includes a cost management unit configured to manage a cost of an LCH involved in 'Inter-node UP aggregation', a priority management unit configured to manage a priority of the LCH, and a bearer management unit configured to allocate transmission resources to data for the LCH based on the priority and the cost of the LCH. The cost management unit is configured to update the cost of the LCH managed by the cost management unit itself, based on a PBR value informed by a network.
