CONTROL METHODS, COMMUNICATION DEVICES AND PROGRAMS
One aspect of the present invention is a control method comprising: an acquisition step of acquiring a first coverage indicating a range in which a communication device and a terminal can communicate with each other, and a second coverage indicating a range in which the communication device provides a communication service; and a derivation step of deriving a beam width communicable in the second coverage on the basis of the first coverage and the second coverage acquired in the acquisition step.
1 . A control method of a communication device, comprising:
acquiring a first coverage indicating a range in which the communication device and a terminal can communicate with each other, and a second coverage indicating a range in which the communication device provides a communication service; and
deriving a beam width communicable in the second coverage on the basis of the first coverage and the second coverage acquired.
2 . The control method according to claim 1 , wherein the first coverage is acquired on the basis of a line design between the communication device and the terminal or a distance between the communication device and the terminal.
3 . The control method according to claim 1 , wherein the second coverage from a host device is acquired.
4 . The control method according to claim 1 , wherein the first coverage is determined by a first distance at which the communication device and the terminal can communicate with each other, the second coverage is determined by a second distance, and
the beam width is derived in accordance with a distance difference between the first distance and the second distance.
5 . The control method according to claim 1 , further comprising performing beam sweeping with the beam width derived.
