  • Publication number: 20090219913
    Abstract: In a base station device 12 which sequentially stores a part or the whole of packets in physical slots formed for time-division multiplexing to perform radio communications with another communication device, an empty region determination unit 22 compares the maximum storage size of each of the physical slots and the data size of the part or whole of the packet to be stored in the physical slot, and determines whether or not an empty region is formed in the physical slot. When the empty region determination unit 22 determines that an empty region is formed in the physical slot, a packet storage/extraction unit 24 stores a part or the whole of a packet subsequent to the packet, in the empty region.
