<p>A control station apparatus wherein the transmission rate of packet data is controlled, thereby suppressing abandonment of packet data, improving the usage efficiencies of wireless and wire lines, and reducing an increase of delay time caused by buffering. In the apparatus, when receiving, from a buffer part (104), a signal indicating to the effect that the amount of the packet data store in the buffer part exceeds a threshold value, or a signal indicating to the effect that the data residence time exceeds a threshold value, an EDCH FP protocol processing part (102) outputs, to an L1/L2 part (101), a flow control signal that requests a node (B) to reduce the data rate of the packet data coming from the node (B). When the amount of the packet data store in the buffer part exceeds the threshold value, or when the data residence time exceeds the threshold value, the buffer part (104) outputs, to the EDCH FP protocol processing part (102), a signal indicating to that effect.</p> |
