<p>The present invention provides a communication apparatus on a subscriber side that, in a point to multi-point communication system, transmits upstream data transmitted from a lower-level device to a station-side device based on a data transmission start time and a transmission duration time notified from the station-side device. The communication apparatus includes a logical-link control unit that determines number of links to be used, which is number of logical links to be used for an upstream data transmission in a next bandwidth update cycle, based on an accumulated data amount in an upstream buffer unit that accumulates upstream data to be transmitted to the station-side device.</p> |
