Abstract
In packet communications between a mobile terminal and a base station, the mobile terminal checks a priority level of a traffic and judges a type of the traffic, and transmits a reservation signal for a transmission request to the base station when the type of the traffic is a high priority level or realtime type, and does not transmits it when the type of the traffic is a low priority level or non-realtime type, while the base station determines a resource amount to be reserved for packet transmission according to a resource utilization state and the reservation signal for the traffic of the high priority level or realtime type, or an average transmission interval or transmission rate for the traffic of the low priority level or non-realtime type according to margins in remaining resources, and notifies the resource amount or the average transmission interval or transmission rate to the mobile terminal.
