Abstract
A data relay processing method where an available transmission band is partially reserved, partially assigned or partially exchanged between multiple communication terminals. Pieces of information are communicated between the multiple terminals. Such information includes a schedule of a term in which the transmission band is available, and a communication price that is charged to terminals in exchange for the usage of the transmission band. A schedule of transmission band usage and history of transmission band usage are utilized to efficiently reserve, assign or exchange the transmission band.
