Abstract:
A management system, according to one aspect of the present invention, includes: a mobile body that uses a predetermined motion model to estimate, on the basis of the velocity of the own device, the position of an own device after a predetermined period has elapsed; and a management device that uses the predetermined motion model to estimate, on the basis of information about the velocity of the mobile body, the position of the mobile body after the predetermined period has elapsed. The management system is further characterized in that when an error between the position of the own device measured after the predetermined period has elapsed and the estimated position of the own device exceeds a predetermined threshold, the mobile body transmits information about the velocity of the own device to the management device.

A communication apparatus and a communication control method are provided that make it possible to easily relocate communication apparatus while the continuity of a service a mobile terminal is using is maintained. In a communication system including a terminal (400), communication apparatuses (A, B) that provide a service to the terminal (400) each include: a virtual machine (10) that manages a state of communication with the terminal (400) by using information on a session for providing the service; and a virtual machine management section (11) that controls execution of the virtual machine and migration of the virtual machine.
Abstract:
The base station includes: a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information of the base station; a state information sharing unit that shares the position information of the base station and state information including a transmission power amount and a radio wave directivity of the base station with adjacent base stations, and acquires position information of the adjacent base station and state information of the adjacent base station; a decision unit that decides whether cell adjustment is necessary, based on position information and acquired state information of the adjacent base station, position information and acquired state information of the base station; a calculation unit that calculates a transmission power amount or a radio wave directivity of the base station when cell adjustment is necessary; and a cell adjustment unit that adjusts a cell by changing to the calculated transmission power amount or radio wave directivity.
Abstract:
To provide a new traffic off-load feature according to a terminal type, a communication apparatus of the present invention is provided with a first means for identifying, on the basis of an attribute of the terminal, a network to be connected to the terminal from among a plurality of networks including a first network managed by a first operator and a second network managed by a second operator, and a second means for processing communication with the terminal so that a network node that performs predetermined signal processing in the identified network is connected with the terminal, and is characterized in that the first means can identify the second network managed by the second operator, the second network providing communication service to the subscriber terminal of the second operator by using the network node provided by the first operator.
Abstract:
A communication device for offloading communication traffic includes: a first means which identifies an attribute of a terminal based on information included in a message transmitted by the terminal to connect to a wireless network; and a second means which processes the message in such a way that the terminal and a base station corresponding to the attribute of the terminal are connected based on the identified attribute.
Abstract:
A technique is provided that makes it possible to diversely control a radio network based on status other than that of the radio network. A network control apparatus in a radio network, wherein each base station is separated into a radio section and a baseband processing section, includes: a first means for acquiring a parameter related to logical division of the radio network; and a second means for controlling a relation of connection between the radio section and the baseband processing section so that the baseband processing section to be associated with the radio section will be assigned according to the parameter.
