Abstract

The packet loss in a wired section is reported to a receiving terminal (61) using a loss notification packet from a gateway (62) located at the boundary between a wired section and a wireless section, and thus the causes for packet loss are separated. Also, using this loss notification packet, the packet loss rate in the wired section and the wireless section are separately calculated and the transmission rate and robustness of the data packets are determined with a sending terminal (60) in accordance with the respective loss rate of the sections.
