WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, BASE STATION, AND TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A wireless communication system comprising:
- a terminal; and
a base station that forwards a traffic flow to the terminal;
wherein the terminal includesa plurality of first wireless interfaces, anda first processor that selects a first wireless interface from among the plurality of first wireless interfaces, the first wireless interface from which to transmit a response packet in response to a multicast packet or broadcast packet, based on first information indicating the operational states of the plurality of first wireless interfaces, and the preferability of link aggregation on the traffic flow that follows the response packet.
