To construct a system abundant in scalability in which the devices are
increased or decreased in a minimum unit in accordance with the amount of
user data to be processed by dividing the UPE (user plane control
equipment) in a radio network controller into the minimum necessary
functions, a MAC-d entity only dependent on the individual user data is
separated independently from a MAC-c/sh entity so that it may be
increased or decreased in accordance with the amount of traffic. Thereby,
the unit of increase or decrease can be made not a unit of UPE but a
finer unit of MAC-d, resulting in the higher scalability of the system.
