To flexibly control the number of user planes in a communication system. In the communication system, a base station located on a local area network is connected to at least one user plane function located on a cloud. Whether or not to add a new user plane function is determined in consideration of an amount of traffic of user data and an assumed amount of traffic of the new user plane function out of a maximum amount of traffic on the local area network, the user data being transferred by the at least one user plane function by use of the local area network.

Control apparatus in communication system and control method therefor

A communication control device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a setting unit that sets a plurality of protection points in the protective space that protects a first radio system from a second radio system that performs shared use of the radio wave used by the first radio system; a determination unit that determines the target protection point to be the calculation target of the interference power received from the second radio system based on the plurality of protection points set by the setting unit; an interference power calculation unit that calculates the representative value of the interference power based on the interference power calculated for the target protection point determined by the determination unit; and an allowable power calculation unit that calculates the allowable power indicating the allowable interference power at the target protection point based on the representative value of the interference power calculated by the interference power calculation unit.

Communication control device and communication control method

A communication control device () includes a control unit () configured to select one protection method from a plurality of primary system protection methods including a dynamic or static protection method on the basis of a use form and use position information of a wireless station of a primary system and protect the wireless station of the primary system on the basis of the selected protection method.

A communication device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an acquisition unit, a calculation unit, and a radio wave communication unit. The acquisition unit acquires a position of a reference point provided in a region related to a first wireless system and a limit value of an interference quantity at the reference point. The calculation unit calculates, on the basis of at least the position and the limit value, allowable power by which an interference quantity of a radio wave transmitted by beamforming at the reference point is equal to or less than the limit value. The radio wave communication unit that transmits a radio wave having a frequency within a second frequency band partially or entirely overlapping with a first frequency band allocated to the first wireless system by beamforming with power equal to or less than the allowable power.

Communication device, communication control device, and communication method

A communication control device includes: a selection unit that selects, on the basis of a protection target range which is set to the air above a communication device of a second wireless system on the basis of a position of the communication device of the second wireless system which secondarily uses a frequency resource primarily used by a first wireless system, a communication device of the first wireless system as a target for calculating interference applied by the communication device of the second wireless system.

Communication control device, communication device, and communication control method

A control unit receives at least one of a plurality of synchronization signals transmitted after undergoing beam sweeping via a wireless communication unit. The beam sweeping includes each of the plurality of synchronization signals forming a different beam and transmitted from the base station during a predetermined period of time. The control unit determines, from a plurality of pieces of beam sweeping configuration information, one piece of the configuration information based on priority between a plurality of types of beam sweeping and receives the synchronization signal or report the received synchronization signal to the base station using the one piece of the configuration information determined based on the priority. The number of the synchronization signals transmitted during a predetermined period of time varies among the plurality of pieces of beam sweeping configuration information.
