Abstract
A communication control apparatus that controls a terrestrial network including a terrestrial base station installed on the ground and capable of communicating with a communication device by means of time-continuous TN data, and, a non-terrestrial network including a flying base station and capable of communicating with a communication device by means of time-continuous NTN data, includes: a signal strength reduction unit that reduces signal strength of at least part of at least one of the TN data and the NTN data at least in an overlapping area of the terrestrial communication cell and the flying communication cell; a communication delay acquisition unit that acquires communication delay between the flying base station and the flying communication cell; and a synchronization unit that synchronizes the TN data and the NTN data based on the communication delay acquired by the communication delay acquisition unit.
