1. A communication control apparatus comprising a processor configured to: receive, from a first mobile communication apparatus, a request for permission of data transmission to a second mobile communication apparatus, the second mobile communication apparatus including a buffer memory to store received data; determine whether to permit the data transmission based on a free capacity of the buffer memory and a reserved capacity indicated by a reservation setting of the buffer memory; update, when the data transmission is determined to be permitted, the reservation setting such that a capacity for received data corresponding to the data transmission is added to the reserved capacity; and
transmit, when the data transmission is determined to be permitted, a response indicating that the data transmission is permitted to the first mobile communication apparatus; wherein: the request for permission of the data transmission includes information indicating a data amount of the data transmission; the processor determines a size of the capacity for the received data to be added to the reserved capacity based on the data amount of the data transmission; and
when the data amount of the data transmission is less than a first threshold, the processor determines to permit the data transmission regardless of the free capacity and the reserved capacity of the buffer memory.
