In particular, using a value set based on the average session duration as a time offset has the advantage of being able to respond more actively to the state of the network or system.

The key value K for classifying the subscriber group can be obtained by calculating the following Equation 1.

[Equation 1]

K = N / S

Here, N may mean the number of subscribers of the service and S may mean the maximum number of sessions that can be processed. For example, if the number of subscribers is 20000 and the maximum number of sessions is 5000, the key value K may be four.

Thereafter, the mobile terminal can calculate the subscriber group based on the extracted parameters (S340), which is to identify the subscriber group to which the mobile terminal subscribed to the service belongs. This subscriber group C can be obtained by modulo operation as shown in Equation 2 below.

[Equation 2]

C = mod (L / K)

Here, L may mean the last digit in the mobile terminal telephone number. For example, if the mobile number of the mobile terminal is 012-345-6789, the subscriber group C can be 1 by mod (9/4) since L can be 9.

The mobile terminal can determine the access point P of the wireless data network to have a predetermined time interval according to the calculated subscriber group (S350), which can be obtained by Equation 3 below.
