The generation unit (132) learns the relationship between the context information and result information indicating whether or not a frequency band, among frequency bands that the base station (20) can handle, that was used by the terminal device (30) when the context information was acquired is optimal for the context information, thereby generating a model indicating the tendency of user context corresponding to the frequency band. The determination unit (133) determines, on the basis of the model, a frequency band to be used that the terminal device (30) is allowed to use preferentially in wireless communication. The control unit (134) performs control so that wireless communication is executed in the frequency band to be used.

Abstract

The present invention improves frequency utilization efficiency, prevents a decrease in the communication capacity of a terminal, and reduces interference in the uplink and the downlink of a service link of each base station in a mobile communication system provided with a ground base station and an airborne relay-type base station having an antenna provided on a flying object or the like (such as a UAV, an HAPS, or a communication satellite) in the sky. The airborne relay-type base station and the ground base station each carry out radio communication of the service link with the terminal by means of time division duplexing (TDD) using the same frequency. The airborne relay-type base station and the ground base station employ opposite transmission timings and reception timings for the TDD radio communication in the service link. The airborne relay-type base station estimates the direction of a service link antenna of the ground base station and performs control to direct the null of the directional beam of a service link antenna of the airborne relay-type base station toward the estimated direction of the service link antenna of the ground base station.

Provided is a system capable of increasing the capacity of a feeder link in an LoS environment between a GW station and a relay station that is mounted to a communication relay device in the sky. This system comprises: a communication relay device in which a relay station of a non-reproduction relay system is mounted to a flying body or a floating body located in the sky; and a gateway station on the ground or on the sea, the gateway station performing feeder link communication with the communication relay device. The system relays communication between a user device and a base station device. The gateway station performs, via a feeder link array antenna, feeder link wireless communication to the relay station by means of a MIMO transmission method using a feeder link frequency in a first frequency band. The relay station performs, via the feeder link array antenna, feeder link wireless communication to the gateway station by means of the MIMO transmission method using the feeder link frequency in the first frequency band.

Abstract

The present invention provides a system capable of greatly reducing the noise of the rotor blades of a drone, when calling, by using audio, from a speaker mounted on the drone, and thus allowing the audio from the speaker to be easily heard on the ground. This system comprises: a separation support member that supports the speaker below a drone body so as to be separated from the drone body by a prescribed separation distance; and a drone separation mounting part that has a speaker, a power supply, and a wireless device that receives an audio signal or audio data from the outside. The separation support member separates and supports the drone separation mounting part, at a position separated by a prescribed separation distance below the drone part. The speaker outputs audio on the basis of the audio signal or the audio data received by the wireless device. The drone body part may be provided with an electric winch capable of winding a separation support member which comprises a string or a cable and to which a speaker is attached to a lower end part.

Abstract

Provided is a control device for controlling operation of a compensation device for using digital signal processing using a finite impulse response filter to compensate birefringence and/or polarization mode dispersion applied on signal light propagated through an optical transmission path, the control device comprising: a detection signal reception unit that receives a detection signal, which is a signal indicating a detection result of a detection device that optically detects polarization fluctuation in the optical transmission path; and a setting unit that determines, on the basis of a detection result of the detection device, a setting related to an update frequency or an update interval of the number of taps of the finite impulse response filter or an update frequency or an update interval of a tap coefficient of the finite impulse response filter.

Abstract

The present invention provides a control system provided with: a control device that controls a plurality of base stations disposed in a RAN; and a control unit that is installed in one base station among the plurality of base stations and that controls the one base station. The control device has: a prediction unit that predicts the state of the RAN at a prediction timing after the lapse of a transmission time, which is a time until data arrives at the one base station from the control device, from a generation start timing at which the generation of a control message for controlling the one base station is started; a generation unit that generates the control message on the basis of the predicted state of the RAN; and a transmission unit that transmits the control message to the one base station. The control unit has: a reception unit that receives the control message from the control device; an acquisition unit that acquires the state of the RAN at a reception timing at which the reception unit has received the control message; and a processing unit that executes processing related to the control of the one base station on the basis of the control message and the state of the RAN acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract

Provided is a data processing device comprising: a moving image data acquisition unit that acquires moving image data in which an object is captured; and a data generation unit that converts time-series motion information of the object in the moving image data into a still image element, and generates still image data including the element of the still image obtained through the conversion. The data generation unit may generate the still image data in which the time-series movement information of the object in the moving image data is represented by at least one of a pixel value, a feature vector, and an edge.
