Abstract
It is provided of a communication relay apparatus of aerial-floating type (HAPS) capable of appropriately performing a division into subareas used for an area optimization in dynamic area control that can respond to a change in distribution of terminal apparatuses in a service area configured with plural cells formed toward the ground, depending on a status of the service area. The communication relay apparatus of aerial-floating type (HAPS) estimates positions of plural terminal apparatuses positioned in a service area, divides the service area into plural subareas including plural cells, optimizes plural kinds of antenna parameters of an antenna for service link for each of the subareas, based on an estimation result of positions of plural terminal apparatuses, and applies, to the antenna for service link, optimal values of the plural kinds of antenna parameters after completing the optimization of each subarea for all of the plural subareas. The service area is divided into plural subareas so that an interdependence between the subareas is reduced.
