- TWTSP is a period during which data can be exchanged between the wireless terminal STA1 and AP.

- FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining an outline of priority control in a wireless LAN using TWT.
- the TWTSP of the wireless terminal STA1 to be protected is set longer than the TWTSP of the other wireless terminals STA2 to STA4. That is, in this example, the same TWT wait interval is set for all STA1 to STA4, while STA1 is given a long TWTSP and the other STA2 to STA4 are given a short TWTSP. .. With such a setting, the STA1 can sufficiently obtain the communication time with the AP even if there are many wireless terminals communicating with the AP.
- the TWTSP given to each wireless terminal is determined based on the 5QI given to the terminal in 5G. If TWT SP corresponding to 5QI is used, the status of priority control in 5G can be reflected in wireless LAN communication. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the communication quality from being significantly deteriorated after the wireless terminal protected by 5G is handed over to the wireless LAN.
- FIG. 12 shows how the IPsec class is set for each wireless terminal UE along with the transfer from 5G to the wireless LAN.
- FIG. 13 shows the relationship between the QFI and the characteristics of the IPsec class, which are determined by the settings shown in FIG.

- FIG. 14 is a timing chart illustrating the operation when the above priority control is performed in the wireless LAN.
- communication is permitted only to the wireless terminal STA1 to be protected, and the period in which the other wireless terminals STA2 to STA4 are in the sleep state is secured for a long period of time. Then, STA2 to STA4 are given a short communicable period after that period.
- the wireless terminal STA1 can communicate with the AP for a sufficient period of time using all available RUs after the trigger frame. Therefore, the protected STA1 can stably secure the communication quality in the wireless LAN, which is comparable to that in the case of 5G, even though there are many wireless terminals in the communication area of the AP.
- FIG. 15 shows how stable throughput can be secured even in the communication area of the wireless LAN as a result of the above priority control.
- the TWT standby time is fixedly secured, so even if the number of wireless terminals existing in the communication area of the wireless LAN increases, the communication quality is stably and well maintained. ..

- FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the process executed by the control device 22 in order to realize the above functions.
- the control device 22 first sets a priority condition corresponding to 5QI for each application for the UE communicating with 5G (step 100). Specifically, the TWT SP corresponding to 5QI, the TWT standby interval, and the bandwidth allocation ratio in the priority section are set.
- step 102 it is determined whether or not the wireless terminal UE to be protected has been handed over (handover) from 5G to the wireless LAN (step 102).
- step 104 it is determined whether or not the wireless terminal UE to be protected has been delivered (handovered) from the wireless LAN to 5G (step 104).
