    摘要: A communication quality calculation unit (11) of a base station placement design device (1) calculates communication quality of each terminal in a case where a base station is installed at a base station placement candidate location for a plurality of base station placement candidate locations. An aggregation unit (12) aggregate the number of terminals whose communication quality calculated by the communication quality calculation unit (11) is equal to or greater than a threshold value for each of the plurality of base station placement candidate locations. A base station placement location selection unit (13) selects a base station placement location from among the plurality of base station placement candidate locations, based on the number of terminals aggregated by the aggregation unit (12) for each of the plurality of base station placement candidate locations.

    摘要: A communication device includes an antenna, a support portion, an actuator, a floating body, a sensor, and a control device. The antenna has a rod-shaped element. The instruction unit supports the antenna rotatably about a rotation axis orthogonal to an extending direction of the element. The actuator rotates the antenna about the rotation axis. The floating body supports the support portion and floats on water. The sensor measures a physical quantity related to inclination of the support portion. The control device includes a measurement value acquisition unit and a rotation control unit. The measurement value acquisition unit acquires a measurement value of the sensor. The rotation control unit drives the actuator on the basis of the measurement value to match a direction in which a change in the inclination is smallest with an extending direction of the antenna.
