Abstract
The present invention provides a station-side terminal device including a control signals reading/generating section that receives a requested bandwidth which the subscriber-side terminal devices require for the communication, from each of the subscriber-side terminal devices, and an uplink band allocating section including a first calculation section that allocates a usable communication bandwidth to each of the subscriber-side terminal devices based on a ratio of a service level parameter predetermined for each of the subscriber-side terminal devices, and a second calculation section that obtains an updated usable communication bandwidth updated by subtracting a sum of the allocated bandwidths from the usable communication bandwidth, and obtains an updated requested bandwidth updated by subtracting the allocated bandwidth from the requested bandwidth, to allocate the updated usable communication bandwidth to each of the subscriber-side terminal devices based on a ratio of the updated requested bandwidth.
