Abstract
With an index that represents the content of a message, a communication band is assigned. At this point, communication bands are managed as fixed bands and variable bands. An index is used to secure a fixed band when the transmission a data flow corresponding to a communication request is started. In addition, an index is used to coordinate variable bands. Thus, priority levels of communication requests are objectively designated corresponding to the contents of communication requests and features of mediums. In the case that a fixed band and a variable band are secured, when a function for scheduling and reserving communication resources for communication requests is accomplished, priority levels are objectively designated with an index.
