2. The communication system according to claim 1, further comprising a call control device that controls the call connection;

wherein the call control device includes the securing section and the assigning section.

3. The communication system according to claim 1, further comprising a base station device that carries out wireless communication according to the call connection with the terminal device;

wherein the base station device includes the deriving section, the securing section, and the assigning section.

6. The communication system according to any one of claims 1 to 5, further comprising a excluding section that excludes a terminal device whose communication band derived by the deriving section exceeding the communication band which can be used from targets for which the call connection is established.

7. The communication system according to claim 1, further comprising a releasing section that releases a communication band which is not assigned by the assigning section in the communication band secured by the securing section.

8. The communication system according to claim 1, further comprising a excluding section that excludes a terminal device whose communication band derived by the deriving section is greater than a predetermined value from targets for which the call connection is established, when the number of the terminal devices to be targets of the call and the communication band which can be used satisfy predetermined conditions,

9. The communication system according to claim 1, wherein the communication system is constituted such that it establishes the call connection in a set form of connection, the communication system further comprising:

a first detection section that detects a form of connection specified by the request of call connection;

a determination section that determines a wired communication band to be used for communication in a wired section of the call connection based on regulation according to the detected form of connection; and

a second detection section that detects a speed of communication with each of the terminal devices;

wherein the deriving section is constituted such that it derives a communication band required for the call connection with each of the terminal devices based on the wired communication band and the communication speed which are determined.

10. The communication system according to claim 9, wherein the communication system is constituted such that it establishes the call connection for mediating a set type of communication;

wherein

the communication system further comprising a type table for recording an adaptable type of communication so as to be associated with each of the terminal devices;

the first detection section is constituted such that it detects one or more types of communication as the forms of connection;

the determination section is constituted such that it determines a wired communication band corresponding to the type; and

the deriving section is constituted such that it derives a communication band required for the call connection with each of the terminal devices based on a correspondence relation between the terminal device and the type of communication which are recorded in the type table, and the wired communication band corresponding to the type.

11. The communication system according to claim 9, wherein the first detection section is constituted such that it detects a plurality of forms of connection which can be selected and whose specified wired communication bands differ;

and

wherein the deriving section is constituted such that it derives a communication band required for the call connection with each of the terminal devices for every form of connection.

4. A communication system including a call control device for calling a plurality of terminal devices in response to a single request of call connection, and establishing the call connection of a single terminal device which answered the call, a base station device for carrying out wireless communication according to the call connection with the terminal device to which a communication band to be occupied is assigned in a communication band which can be used, the communication system comprising:

a deriving section that derives a communication band required for the call connection of each of the terminal devices to be called when the request of call connection is received;

a securing section that secures a communication band having the maximum width in each of the derived communication bands in the communication band which can be used; and

an assigning section that assigns a communication band to be occupied in the secured communication band to the terminal device which answered the call.

5. The communication system according to claim 4, wherein the call control device is constituted such that it calls a terminal device according to a plurality of base station devices in response to the request of call connection;

and

the securing section is constituted such that it secures, for each of the base station devices, the maximum communication band in a communication band according to the terminal device for carrying out the wireless communication.
