First Claim
1. A wireless communication system for use in a network where a multicast service is provided to at least one or more terminals in contention-based channel access mode, the system comprising:
- a terminal; and
a wireless communication base station for use in a network where a multicast service is received from a network entity and is provided to at least one or more terminals in contention-based channel access mode of a wireless communication, the base station comprising;
a storage unit for storing terminal information including the number of terminals which have joined the multicast service; and
a priority determining unit for setting a user priority of a data frame to be transmitted using the terminal information,wherein the priority determining unit determines the user priority of the frame according to a priority table and adjusts the user priority using the terminal information stored in the storage unit.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a wireless communication data transmission method considering the number of terminals requesting services. The present invention provides a wireless communication base station for use in a network where a multicast service is received from a network entity and is provided to at least one or more terminals in contention-based channel access mode of a wireless communication. The base station comprises a storage unit for storing terminal information including the number of terminals which have joined the multicast service, and a priority determining unit for setting a user priority of a data frame to be transmitted using the terminal information. According to the present invention, a priority of data to be transmitted is determined in consideration of the number of serviced terminals, and thus, the data can be reasonably transmitted.

9. A wireless communication system for use in a network where a multicast service is provided to at least one or more terminals in contention-based channel access mode, the system comprising:
-
a storage unit for storing terminal information including the number of terminals which have joined the multicast service; a priority determining unit for setting a user priority of a data frame to be transmitted; and a virtual collision handler for selecting a data frame to be transmitted from a queue, in which the data frame is stored, using the terminal information if a collision occurs between ACs (access categories), wherein the virtual collision handler selects a data frame by adjusting the user priority using the terminal information, comparing the adjusted user priority with other user priorities and selecting a data frame with a highest adjusted user priority.

11. A data transmission method for use in a network where a multicast service is received from a network entity and is provided to at least one or more terminals in contention-based channel access mode of a wireless communication, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) determining, by a priority determining unit provided to a base station, a user priority of a data frame to be transmitted; (b) examining terminal information of a terminal, which desires to receive the data frame, from a storage unit for storing terminal information of terminals which have joined the multicast service; (c) adjusting the user priority using the terminal information; and (d) determining an AC (access category) of the data frame based on the adjusted user priority. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A data transmission method for use in a network where a multicast service is received from a network entity and is provided to at least one or more terminals in contention-based channel access mode of a wireless communication, the method comprising the steps of:
-
examining terminal information of a terminal, which desires to receive a data frame to be transmitted, from a storage unit for storing terminal information of terminals which have joined the multicast service; determining, by a priority determining unit provided to a base station, a user priority of the data frame to be transmitted using the terminal information; and determining an AC (access category) of the data frame based on the user priority, wherein the user priority is determined by classifying the number of terminals, which have joined the multicast service, into a plurality of groups, putting an adjustment value to each group, and incrementing or decrementing the user priority, which is set according to a priority table, according to the adjustment value of a group corresponding to the number of terminal that desire to receive the data frame.
