1. A communication control apparatus comprising:
a random access channel identification unit that identifies a plurality of random access channels over which a communication device can transmit random access information to a base station,
a communication device grouping unit that groups each communication device into a plurality of random access groups that are associated with different portions of the plurality of random access channels, and
a random access information transmission restriction unit that restricts the transmission of random access information, for a communication device grouped into each random access group, over the random access channels not associated with each random access group, wherein:
the communication device grouping unit groups each communication device into n (n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) random access groups according to the remainder of communication device identification information of each communication device divided by n, and
the random access information transmission restriction unit restricts the transmission of random access information, for a communication device grouped into each random access group, over the random access channels in which the remainder of random access channel identification information divided by n is not equal to the remainder of the communication device identification information divided by n.
