Abstract

One aspect of the present invention is a control method of a communication control device for controlling communication of a plurality of base stations in a distributed antenna system, a control method, comprising: a selection step for selecting a beam for communication with a terminal station at some of a plurality of base stations; and an allocation step of allocating a candidate beam associated in advance with the beam selected by a selection step as the candidate beam in which base stations other than some of base stations perform communication with terminal stations.

Claims (15)

1 . A control method, comprising:

a selection step for selecting a beam for communication with a terminal station at some of a plurality of base stations in a distributed antenna system; and

an allocation step of allocating a candidate beam associated in advance with the beam selected by the selection step as the candidate beam in which base stations other than some of the base stations perform communication with terminal stations.

2 . The control method according to claim 1 , wherein

the allocation step allocates a candidate beam associated in advance with the beam selected by the selection step by referring to combination information indicating a combination between beams used by the some of the base stations, and a beam used at other base stations other than some of the base stations when the beam is used by some of the base stations.

3 . The control method according to claim 2 , wherein the combination information further indicates a number of times that communication is performed with a combination of beams used by the some of the base stations, and a beam used at base stations other than some of the base stations when the beam is used by some of the base stations.

4 . The control method according to claim 2 , wherein the combination information further indicates a probability of satisfying a predetermined condition when communication is performed with a combination of beams used by the some of the base stations, and a beam used at base stations other than some of the base stations when the beam is used by some of the base stations.

5 . The control method according to claim 2 , wherein the combination information further indicates the position of the terminal station when communication is performed with a combination of beams used by the some of the base stations, and a beam used at base stations other than some of the base stations when the beam is used by some of the base stations.

6 . A control method, comprising:

a selection step for selecting a direction of a beam for communication with a terminal station at some of a plurality of base stations in a distributed antenna system; and

an allocation step of allocating a direction of a beam associated in advance with the direction of the beam selected by the selection step as the candidate direction of the beam in which base stations other than some of the base stations perform communication with terminal stations.

7 . The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the allocation step allocates a candidate of a direction of a beam associated in advance with the direction of the beam selected by the selection step by referring to combination information indicating a combination between a direction of a beam used for the some of the base stations, and a direction of a beam for other base stations other than some of the base stations when the direction of the beam is used for some of the base stations.

8 . A communication control device, comprising:

a selection unit for selecting a beam for communication with a terminal station at some of a plurality of base stations in a distributed antenna system; and

an allocation unit of allocating a candidate beam associated in advance with the beam selected by the selection unit as the candidate beam in which base stations other than some of the base stations perform communication with terminal stations.
