Provided is a communication apparatus including a determination unit that determines a direction in which the communication apparatus faces, a measurement unit that measures signal strength indicating strength of a radio wave received by the communication apparatus, a notification unit that notifies a user of the signal strength falling below a first threshold, and a display unit that superimposes a direction in which the signal strength exceeds a second threshold, as first display, on second display being displayed. This configuration makes it possible to guide the user to turn in a direction in which high signal strength is received, without hindering UX of the user of the communication apparatus using a high frequency band as much as possible.

Communication apparatus, method, and program having a signal strength compass

A terminal apparatus including one or more antenna modules, and a control unit that controls a process for changing a receivable direction of the antenna module used for measurement while fixing a shield state of the antenna module as a state produced by a shield, and a process for measuring downlink communication quality according to the change of the receivable direction of the antenna module used for the measurement.

Terminal apparatus and method

Provided is a communicating device including plural communicating units each communicates with another communicating device via a wireless communication path, a casing that supports the plural communicating units such that the plural communicating units respectively receive radio signals arriving from directions relatively different from each other, and a communication control section that controls operation of each of the plural communicating units, the communication control section performing control such that priority is given to reception of a radio signal by a target communicating unit among the plural communicating units and controlling execution of processing related to diagnosis of communicating unit in question, on basis of a result of the reception.

Diagnosis of operation of plural communicating units

The wireless communication device () according to the present disclosure includes the control unit (). The control unit () acquires the temperatures of a plurality of antennas () having different directivities. The control unit () acquires information regarding the communication quality of the plurality of antennas (). In a case where the temperature of the antenna which is being used for communication is equal to or higher than the second temperature threshold which is lower than the first temperature threshold for determining whether or not to stop using the antenna (), the control unit () switches the antenna which is being used to an antenna selected on the basis of the communication quality among the antennas whose temperatures are lower than the second temperature threshold.
