Abstract

A communication control unit connecting a terminal and a network temporarily disconnects a circuit of the network without ending a session, when no data is received from the network or when no data is transmitted to the network. In response to an occurrence of the transmitted data in the terminal or in response to an occurrence of a request for the connection of the circuit, the temporarily disconnected circuit is re-connected so that the session is resumed.
