Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a load on a base station without imposing a load on a specific terminal.SOLUTION: A terminal device can communicate with a base station, and includes an acquisition unit, a request unit, and a communication unit. When the terminal device participates in a group of one or more terminal devices sharing identification information used in communication with the base station, the acquisition unit acquires the identification information used by the group and state information representing whether utilization authority of the identification information is assigned to the terminal device. If it is determined by using the state information that the utilization authority is not assigned, the request unit requests the utilization authority of another terminal device in the group when the terminal device acquires data to be transmitted to the base station. The communication unit communicates with the base station by using the identification information when the utilization authority is obtained.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】特定の端末に負荷をかけずに基地局の負荷を軽減する。【解決手段】端末装置は、基地局と通信可能であり、取得部、要求部、通信部を備える。取得部は、基地局との通信に使用する識別情報を共有する1つ以上の端末装置のグループに参加すると、グループで使用される識別情報と、端末装置に識別情報の使用権限が割り当てられているかを表わす状態情報を取得する。要求部は、状態情報を用いて使用権限が割り当てられていないと判定した場合、基地局へ送信するデータを取得すると、使用権限をグループ中の他の端末装置に要求する。通信部は、使用権限が得られると、識別情報を用いて基地局と通信を行う。【選択図】図2
