Abstract

This propagation characteristic estimation device estimates a radio wave propagation characteristic between a transmission point and a reception point. Environmental information indicates an arrangement of structural surfaces that reflect and scatter radio waves from the transmission point to the reception point. The propagation characteristic estimation device uses the environmental information as a basis for extracting a structural surface that is visible by line of sight from both the transmission point and the reception points as a structural surface of interest. The propagation characteristic estimation device estimates the radio wave propagation characteristic of a propagation path between the transmission point and the reception point by way of the structural surface of interest on the basis of a first area, which is the area of the structural surface of interest visible from the transmission point, and a second area, which is the area of the structural surface of interest visible from the reception point. If the structural surface of interest is a reflective surface of a dynamic reflector, the propagation characteristic estimation device estimates the radio wave propagation characteristic on the basis of the first and second areas for the case of hypothetically correcting the tilt of the reflective surface of the dynamic reflector so as to achieve a state of specular reflection.

Abstract

This propagation characteristic estimation device estimates radio wave propagation characteristics between a transmission point and a reception point. Environment information indicates an arrangement of a structure surface that reflects and scatters radio waves from the transmission point to the reception point. The propagation characteristic estimation device extracts, on the basis of the environment information and as a target structure surface, a structure surface that is visible without obstruction from both the transmission point and the reception point. The propagation characteristic estimation device estimates the radio wave propagation characteristics of a propagation path between the transmission point and the reception point via the target structure surface, on the basis of: a first area that is an area of the target structure surface visible from the transmission point; a second area that is an area of the target structure surface visible from the reception point; and a reflection pattern that represents a level of a reflection wave reflected by the target structure surface. When the target structure surface is the reflection surface of a dynamic reflection plate, the propagation characteristic estimation device estimates the radio wave propagation characteristics on the basis of the reflection pattern corresponding to a setting value of a reflection angle of the dynamic reflection plate.

Abstract

This wireless communication system comprises a terminal station, a terrestrial base station, a plurality of node stations constituting a non-terrestrial network; and a routing device. The terrestrial base station and at least one of the node stations are multi-carrier compatible stations comprising a first wireless child station corresponding to a first carrier and a second wireless child station corresponding to a second carrier. The routing device acquires the link capacity and traffic flow of communication routes leading to the multi-carrier compatible stations, and calculates congestion levels of the communication routes leading to the multi-carrier compatible stations on the basis of the link capacity and traffic flow. If the congestion level is at or above a threshold, the routing device chooses a communication route such that one of either the first or second carrier is accommodated by the wireless child stations provided in the multi-carrier compatible stations and the other is accommodated by a radio child station provided in a station different from the multi-carrier compatible stations. If the congestion level is below the threshold, the routing device chooses a communication route such that both the first and second carriers are accommodated by the wireless child stations provided in the multi-carrier compatible stations.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a radio communication system using a non-terrestrial network, and the purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a radio communication system capable of establishing a new line that will act as a replacement in anticipation of a line connected to airborne radio stations being disconnected. A radio communication system according to the present disclosure comprises: a ground base station; and a plurality of airborne radio stations that establish connecting lines with other nearby airborne radio stations or with the ground base station. The radio communication system calculates a predicted time at which the line is predicted to be disconnected. The radio communication system also determines a combination of airborne radio stations or a combination of an airborne radio station and the ground base station between which a new line is to be established as a replacement for the line predicted to be disconnected. The airborne radio stations or the airborne radio station and the ground base station that have been selected for the abovementioned combination start to establish a new line according to the combination at a time that is earlier than the predicted time by at least the time required to establish a new line.

Abstract

Provided is a network node comprising: a control unit that sets a first setting value which is the number of wireless hops between a host device and a first network node already connected with the host device; and a reception unit that, via the first network node, receives a connection request from a terminal or a terminal function included in a second network node and receives an interface establishment request from a lower layer wireless base station function included in a third network node. When the control unit has received the connection request from the terminal function included in the second network node, the control unit holds a value obtained by adding 1 to the first setting value. When the control unit has received the interface establishment request from the lower layer wireless base station function included in the third network node and determined that the third network node is identical to the second network node, the control unit sets the held value as a second setting value which is the number of wireless hops between the host device and the third network node.

Abstract

This estimating device comprises: a first learning unit that constructs a first estimation model for estimating a first behavior of a first user group on the basis of a first database; a second learning unit that uses the first estimation model as a base to construct a second estimation model for estimating a second behavior of a common user, on the basis of second data relating to a common user group in a second database and first data relating to the common user group in the first database; and an estimating unit that uses the second estimation model to estimate the second behavior of the first user group excluding the common user group.
