Abstract

A base station device includes, a notifier configured to notify, when detecting a fact that a terminal device is under a reflection communication, the terminal device of a reflection communication handover condition for a case where the reflection communication is performed, and a controller configured to perform, when the terminal device under the reflection communication with a movement source base station device performs handover, control to restrain the terminal device from performing handover to the movement source base station device.

Claims (30)

1 . A base station device that performs normal communication to directly wirelessly connect to a terminal device or reflection communication to communicate with a terminal device using radio waves reflected by a reflection device, the base station device comprising:

a notifier configured to notify, when detecting a fact that the terminal device is under the reflection communication, the terminal device of a reflection communication handover condition for a case where the reflection communication is performed; and

a controller configured to perform, when the terminal device under the reflection communication with a movement source base station device performs handover, control to restrain the terminal device from performing handover to the movement source base station device.

2 . The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the reflection communication handover condition is a condition on which handover is more liable to be performed than a handover condition in the normal communication.

3 . The base station device according to claim 2 , wherein

a handover condition includes a reception level of a signal transmitted from a base station device, and

a reception level of the reflection communication handover condition is lower than a reception level of the handover condition in the normal communication.

4 . The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller acquires a fact that the terminal device has performed the reflection communication with the movement source base station device from the movement source base station device.

5 . The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller prohibits the terminal device from performing handover to the movement source base station device.

6 . The base station device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller makes handover less liable to be performed on a movement source handover condition of the terminal device for the movement source base station device than a handover condition of the terminal device for a base station device other than the movement source base station device.

7 . The base station device according to claim 6 , wherein

a handover condition includes a reception level of a signal transmitted from a base station device, and

a reception level of a movement source handover condition of the terminal device for the movement source base station device is higher than a reception level of a handover condition of the terminal device for a base station device other than the movement source base station device.

8 . The base station device according to claim 6 , wherein

the controller acquires the movement source handover condition from the movement source base station device.

9 . The base station device according to claim 6 , wherein

the controller transmits the movement source handover condition to the terminal device.

10 . A communication method of a base station device that performs normal communication to directly wirelessly connect to a terminal device or reflection communication to communicate with a terminal device using radio waves reflected by a reflection device, the communication method comprising:

notifying, when detecting a fact that the terminal device is under the reflection communication, the terminal device of a reflection communication handover condition for a case where the reflection communication is performed; and

performing, when the terminal device under the reflection communication with a movement source base station device performs handover, control to restrain the terminal device from performing handover to the movement source base station device.

11 . A communication system including a terminal device, a reflection device, and a base station device, wherein

the reflection device transmits reflected waves generated by reflecting radio waves transmitted by the base station device or the terminal device,

the terminal device performs reflection communication using the reflected waves or normal communication to directly wirelessly connect to the base station device, and

the base station device:

notifies, when detecting a fact that a terminal device under communication with an own device is under the reflection communication, the terminal device of a reflection communication handover condition for a case where the reflection communication is performed, and

restrains, when the terminal device under the communication with the own device performs handover from the movement source base station device, the terminal device from performing handover to the movement source base station device.
