There is provided a wireless base station including a connection establishment unit configured to establish a communication connection with a wireless communication device, and a connection control unit configured to control in a manner that, in a case where the wireless communication device is a wireless relay device having a relay function for relaying a communication between the wireless base station and a communication terminal, a connection with the wireless communication device is not released even when a time during which a communication is not performed with the wireless communication device has passed a first time, and in a case where the wireless communication device is not the wireless relay device, the connection with the wireless communication device is released in response to a state where the time during which the communication is not performed with the wireless communication device has passed the first time.

Wireless base station, communication system, computer readable storage medium, control method, and wireless communication device

A vehicle is a movable vehicle and includes an access point function unit having an antenna and configured to function as an access point by wirelessly communicating with a terminal device located near the antenna and a control unit configured to control a directivity direction of radio waves transmitted through the antenna so that a radio wave intensity of radio waves transmitted to a predetermined first region set on the basis of a surrounding environment of the antenna is less than a radio wave intensity of radio waves transmitted to a second region other than the first region.

Vehicle and vehicle system

A communication control apparatus provided in a movable object acquires, while a communication unit communicates with a first access point, information indicating a communication quality with a second access point for which an authentication different from that for the first access point is required, acquires authentication information by maintaining the communication between the communication unit and the first access point and also executing authentication processing for the second access point when the communication quality with the second access point exceeds a first threshold while the communication unit communicates with the first access point, and holds the authentication information. The communication control apparatus starts wireless communication with the second access point by using the held authentication information when the communication quality with the second access point is higher than a communication quality with the first access point.

Communication control apparatus, movable object, communication control method, and computer readable storage medium

Provided is a communication device including: a first receiving unit configured to receive distribution information from a second moving object that is different from a first moving object on which the communication device is mounted; a storage unit configured to store the distribution information; a transmission unit configured to transmit the distribution information to a third moving object that is different from the first moving object; and a communication relay unit configured to relay a communication between an external terminal located outside the first moving object, and an external network, in which the distribution information includes a restriction condition for restricting the transmission of the distribution information, and when the transmission unit determines that the transmission of the distribution information to the third moving object is not restricted based on the restriction condition, the transmission unit transmits the distribution information to the third moving object.

Communication device, computer-readable storage medium, and system

There is provided a communication control apparatus comprising a processor. The processor receives, from a first mobile communication apparatus, a request for permission of data transmission to a second mobile communication apparatus, the second mobile communication apparatus including a buffer memory to store received data. The processor determines whether to permit the data transmission based on a free capacity of the buffer memory and a reserved capacity indicated by a reservation setting of the buffer memory. The processor updates, when the data transmission is determined to be permitted, the reservation setting such that a capacity for received data corresponding to the data transmission is added to the reserved capacity. The processor transmits, when the data transmission is determined to be permitted, a response indicating that the data transmission is permitted to the first mobile communication apparatus.
