Communication apparatus and congestion regulation control method

A mobile communication control station for communicating with a plurality of stations and executing regulation control at a time of congestion, comprising:

• congestion monitoring means for monitoring a congestion state, setting a congestion level and determining whether or not to perform regulation based on said congestion level;
• traffic measuring means for measuring a number of signals received from a plurality of mobile communication exchanges as a traffic intensity;
• traffic comparison means for comparing said traffic intensity with a preset traffic-regulation start traffic intensity when it is determined that regulation is to be performed;
• and
• regulation control means for performing traffic regulation control when a comparison result shows that said traffic intensity is equal to or greater than said traffic-regulation start traffic intensity, and performing regulation control on a maintenance and operation process when said traffic intensity is smaller than said traffic-regulation start traffic intensity.

A server unit for communicating with a plurality of clients and executing regulation control at a time of congestion, comprising:

• congestion monitoring means for monitoring a congestion state, setting a congestion level and determining whether or not to perform regulation based on said congestion level;
• traffic measuring means for measuring a number of signals received from said clients as a traffic intensity;
• traffic comparison means for comparing said traffic intensity with a preset traffic-regulation start traffic intensity when it is determined that regulation is to be performed;
• and
• regulation control means for performing traffic regulation control when a comparison result shows that said traffic intensity is equal to or greater than said traffic-regulation start traffic intensity, and performing regulation control on a maintenance and operation process when said traffic intensity is smaller than said traffic-regulation start traffic intensity.
