Abstract
An amount of data to be distributed to each receiving terminal is dynamically controlled for each receiving terminal in response to a congestion of each of plural receiving terminals. When a determination of an RR (Reception Report) returned from the receiving terminal results in a very low rate of packet loss, an adaptive control mixer distributes communication data transmitted from a transmitting terminal to the receiving terminal without reducing the communication data. On the other hand, the determination of the RRs returned from the receiving terminals results in a high rate of packet loss, for example, 50% and 90%, respectively. In this case, the adaptive control mixer reduces, for example, 50% of the communication data transmitted from the transmitting terminal and then distributes the data to the one receiving terminal. The adaptive control mixer reduces, for example, 90% of the communication data and then distributes the data to the other receiving terminal.
