MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION-SIDE NODE
First Claim
1. A mobile communication system in which a communication is configured to be performed between a reception-side node and a transmission-side node by a first protocol layer and a second protocol layer that is a lower layer of the first protocol layer;
- whereinthe transmission-side node includes one or a plurality of transmission-side IP addresses;
the reception-side node includes one or a plurality of reception-side IP addresses;
a connection of the second protocol layer formed by a plurality of physical path is configured to be set between the transmission-side node and the reception-side node;
the plurality of physical paths are configured to be set by each of the transmission-side IP addresses and each of the reception-side IP addresses;
one or a plurality of streams are configured to be set within the connection of the second protocol layer set between the transmission-side node and the reception-side node;
the first protocol layer of the transmission-side node is configured to acquire, from the second protocol layer of the transmission-side node, a first data amount indicting an amount of data that can be received at the reception-side node for each connection of the second protocol layer, a second data amount indicating an amount of data that can be transmitted by the transmission-side node for each physical path, and a third data amount indicating an amount of data transmitted within a unit time by the transmission-side node for each stream; and
when an urgency flag is included in data subject to transmission, the first protocol layer of the transmission-side node is configured to determine a stream and a physical path through which the data subject to transmission should be transmitted, based on the first data amount, the second data amount, and the third data amount, and to notify, to the second protocol layer of the transmission-side node, the determination.

Abstract
In a mobile communication system according to the present invention, an AP/ULP layer of a transmission-side node (A) is configured to acquire, from a SCTP layer of the transmission-side node (A), a “rwnd” for each connection of the SCTP layer, a “cwnd” for each physical path, and a third data amount indicating an amount of data transmitted within a unit time by the transmission-side node (A) for each stream; and when an urgency flag is included in data subject to transmission, the AP/ULP layer of the transmission-side node (A) is configured to determine a stream and a physical path through which the data subject to transmission should be transmitted, based on the “rwnd”, the “cwnd”, and the third data amount, and to notify, to the SCTP layer, the determination.
