Abstract

A communication control device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a spectrum grant request following a certain scheme from a plurality of second radio systems that perform a wireless communication using a radio wave of a frequency band used by a first radio system; a classification unit that groups the second radio systems into a plurality of groups according to a scheme of the spectrum grant request; and a calculation unit that calculates a communication parameter of the second radio system for each of the groups.

Claims (29)

1. A communication control device, comprising:

a transceiver; and

circuitry configured to:

acquire a request of spectrum usage following a scheme from a plurality of second radio systems that perform a wireless communication using a radio wave of a frequency band used by a first radio system, the scheme is one of a plurality of schemes that includes, at least, a first scheme and a second scheme, and

group the plurality of second radio systems into, at least, a first group of a plurality of groups including a second radio system of the plurality of second radio systems that uses the first scheme, and a second group of the plurality of groups including a second radio system of the plurality of second radio systems that uses the second scheme,

wherein the request following the first scheme includes information on a maximum transmission power desired by second radio system and a frequency desired by second radio system, and

the request following the second scheme includes a requirement relating to a communication parameter of each of the plurality of second radio systems,

wherein the communication parameter corresponds to a group order that is determined by the circuitry.

2. The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein the communication parameter of each of the plurality of second radio systems is calculated by allocating an interference margin to each of the plurality of groups, and based on the allocated interference margin, and when a leftover margin is generated in a group that is calculated first, the leftover margin is allocated to a group to be calculated later.

3. The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein a communication parameter of each of the plurality of second radio systems is calculated in a sequence corresponding to the second group followed by the first group.

4. The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein a communication parameter of each of the plurality of second radio systems is calculated in a sequence corresponding to the first group followed by the second group.

5. The communication control device according to claim 1 , the communication parameter of each of the plurality of second radio systems are classified into the first group, based on an iterative interference margin allocation method.

6. The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry calculates the communication parameter of each of the plurality of second radio systems are classified into the second group, based on a batch interference margin allocation method.

7. The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein the group order is determined based on an installation density of the plurality of second radio systems in the group.

8. The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein the group order is determined based on a number of the plurality of second radio systems in the group, and a distance from a protection point or a protection area of the first radio system.

9. The communication control device according to claim 8 , wherein, based on the distance is larger than a predetermined distance and based a number of the plurality of second radio systems being located at the distance from the protection point or the protection area of the first radio system being larger than a predetermined threshold, the group order is determined in a sequence of the second group followed by the first group.

10. The communication control device according to claim 8 , wherein, based on the distance is larger than a predetermined distance and based a number of the plurality of second radio systems being located at the distance from the protection point or the protection area of the first radio system being larger than a predetermined threshold, the group order is determined in a sequence of the first group followed by the second group.

11. A method performed by circuitry of a communication control device, the method comprising:

acquiring a request of spectrum usage following a scheme from a plurality of second radio systems that perform a wireless communication using a radio wave of a frequency band used by a first radio system, the scheme is one of a plurality of schemes that includes, at least, a first scheme and a second scheme; and

grouping the plurality of second radio systems into, at least, a first group of a plurality of groups including a second radio system of the plurality of second radio systems that uses the first scheme, and a second group of the plurality of groups including a second radio system of the plurality of second radio systems that uses the second scheme,

wherein the request following the first scheme includes information on a maximum transmission power desired by second radio system and a frequency desired by second radio system, and

the request following the second scheme includes a requirement relating to a communication parameter of each of the plurality of second radio systems,

wherein the communication parameter corresponds to a group order that is determined by the circuitry.

12. A non-transitory computer product containing instructions for a method performed by circuitry of a communication control device, the method comprising:

acquiring a request of spectrum usage following a scheme from a plurality of second radio systems that perform a wireless communication using a radio wave of a frequency band used by a first radio system, the scheme is one of a plurality of schemes that includes, at least, a first scheme and a second scheme; and

grouping the plurality of second radio systems into, at least, a first group of a plurality of groups including a second radio system of the plurality of second radio systems that uses the first scheme, and a second group of the plurality of groups including a second radio system of the plurality of second radio systems that uses the second scheme,

wherein the request following the first scheme includes information on a maximum transmission power desired by second radio system and a frequency desired by second radio system, and

the request following the second scheme includes a requirement relating to a communication parameter of each of the plurality of second radio systems,

wherein the communication parameter corresponds to a group order that is determined by the circuitry.
