Management device, management method, and management program

Abstract

In order to connect a radio terminal in a heterogeneous network environment to a connection destination in an appropriate frequency band, a management device comprises: a located-area information acquisition unit that acquires located-area information of the radio terminal; a first base station identification unit that uses the located-area information to identify a first base station forming a macrocell; a second base station identification unit that uses the located-area information to perform a first assessment for assessing whether or not the radio terminal is within one of the small cells, and that, when the radio terminal is within one of the small cells, identifies a second base station forming the small cell; and a high-speed communication requirement assessment unit that performs a second assessment for assessing whether or not the radio terminal requires high-speed communication based on at least a predicted traffic demand volume from the radio terminal.
