Abstract

To provide a control device that can prevent an increase in a processing load and that can effectively allocate a radio resource. A control device ( 30 ) according the present disclosure includes: a deciding unit ( 31 ) configured to decide whether or not an interval between generation of a first flow that is generated when performing radio communication between a communication terminal ( 10 ) and a base station ( 20 ) and generation of a second flow that is generated after the generation of the first flow exceeds a permissible delay time of the first flow; and a determination unit ( 32 ) configured to determine deletion of non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal ( 10 ) after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow when it is decided that the generation interval exceeds the permissible delay time of the first flow.

4. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine deletion of data remaining in a buffer configured to store data included in the first flow and the second flow after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow and transmit information indicating that the data remaining in the buffer is deleted to the communication terminal and the base station; and

wherein the data remaining in the buffer is deleted from the communication terminal and the base station.

5. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to re-decide-whether or not the generation interval exceeds the permissible delay time when at least one of the generation interval and the permissible delay time of the first flow is changed, determine to delete non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow when it is re-decided that the generation interval exceeds the permissible delay time of the first flow, and transmit information indicating that the non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow is deleted to the communication terminal and the base station; and

wherein the non-transmitted data is deleted from the communication terminal and the base station.

6. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to transmit the information indicating that the non-transmitted data is deleted to the communication terminal, the destination of the information being the base station, and transmit the information indicating that the non-transmitted data is deleted to the base station, the destination of the information being the communication terminal.

7. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to detect presence of the non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow, and

instruct the communication terminal or the base station that has the non-transmitted data to delete the non-transmitted data.

8. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to delete the non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow.

9. The control device according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to delete the non-transmitted data at a prescribed timing before lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow.

10. A control method comprising:

deciding whether or not an interval between generation of a first flow that is generated when performing radio communication between a communication terminal and a base station and generation of a second flow that is generated after the generation of the first flow exceeds a permissible delay time of the first flow;

determining to delete non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow when it is decided that the generation interval exceeds the permissible delay time of the first flow; and

transmitting information indicating that the non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow is deleted to the communication terminal and the base station, wherein

the non-transmitted data is deleted from the communication terminal and the base station.

11. The control method according to claim 10 , further comprising measuring the generation interval between the first flow and the second flow used in the deciding.

12. The control method according to claim 10 , further comprising re-deciding whether or not the generation interval exceeds the permissible delay time when at least one of the generation interval and the permissible delay time of the first flow is changed;

determining to delete non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow when it is re-decided that the generation interval exceeds the permissible delay time of the first flow, and

transmitting information indicating that the non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow is deleted to the communication terminal and the base station, wherein

the non-transmitted data is deleted from the communication terminal and the base station.

13.

14. The control method according to claim 10 , further comprising deleting, after it is determined that the non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow is deleted, the non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow.

15. A non-transitory computer readable media storing a program for causing a computer to execute:

deciding of whether or not an interval between generation of a first flow that is generated when performing radio communication between a communication terminal and a base station and generation of a second flow that is generated after the generation of the first flow exceeds a permissible delay time of the first flow;

determination of deleting non-transmitted data related to the communication terminal after lapse of the permissible delay time of the first flow when it is decided that the generation interval exceeds the permissible delay time of the first flow; and
