A mobile communication system includes a mobile communication network
connected to a core network (CN) and a plurality of radio network nodes
included in the mobile communication network (RAN). Network resources for
a data flow between a data transmission node and a data reception node
that passes through the CN and RAN are reserved on the basis of RSVP. A
region for refreshing a reservation state of network resources concerning
the flow is divided into a CN side and an RAN side by taking a
predetermined radio network node through which the flow passes as a
boundary. Refreshment on the RAN side is conducted with a frequency
higher than that of refreshment on the CN side.
