Abstract

A frequency state observation system according to an embodiment includes a spectrum observation device that observes a spectrum of a frequency range that can be used by a plurality of wireless communication systems, a control device that controls the spectrum observation device to perform a plurality of single sweeps over the frequency range, and a wireless communication device that transmits, by a radio signal, information indicating a frequency of occurrence of a signal having a predetermined threshold or more included in a spectrum observed by the spectrum observation device performing a plurality of single sweeps, with respect to a predetermined time.

Claims (16)

1 . A frequency state observation system, comprising:

a spectrum observation device, including one or more processors, configured to observe a spectrum of a frequency range that can be used by a plurality of wireless communication systems;

a control device, including one or more processors, configured to control the spectrum observation device to perform a plurality of single sweeps over the frequency range; and

a wireless communication device, including one or more processors, configured to transmit, by a radio signal, information indicating a frequency of occurrence of a signal having a predetermined threshold or more included in a spectrum observed by the spectrum observation device performing a plurality of single sweeps, with respect to a predetermined time.

2 . The frequency state observation system according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to set a sweep time when the spectrum observation device performs a single sweep, on the basis of a frequency bandwidth or a signal time that can be used by each of the wireless communication systems.

3 . The frequency state observation system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the control device is configured to output, to the wireless communication device, information indicating a frequency of occurrence of a signal having a predetermined threshold or more included in a spectrum observed by the spectrum observation device, with respect to a predetermined time, while reducing at least either a data amount or the number of outputs, and the wireless communication device is configured to transmit the information indicating the frequency of occurrence output by the control device.

4 . A frequency state observation method, comprising:

a control step of controlling a spectrum observation device to perform a plurality of single sweeps over a frequency range that can be used by a plurality of wireless communication systems, the spectrum observation device observing a spectrum of the frequency range; and

a wireless communication step of transmitting, by a radio signal, information indicating a frequency of occurrence of a signal having a predetermined threshold or more included in a spectrum observed by the spectrum observation device performing a plurality of single sweeps, with respect to a predetermined time.

5 . The frequency state observation method according to claim 4 , further comprising a setting step of setting a sweep time when the spectrum observation device performs a single sweep, on the basis of a frequency bandwidth or a signal time that can be used by each of the wireless communication systems.

6 . A control device, comprising:

a sweep control unit, including one or more processors, configured to control a spectrum observation device to perform a plurality of single sweeps over a frequency range that can be used by a plurality of wireless communication systems, the spectrum observation device observing a spectrum in the frequency range; and

a tabulation unit, including one or more processors, configured to tabulate a frequency of occurrence of a signal having a predetermined threshold or more included in a spectrum observed by the spectrum observation device performing a plurality of single sweeps, with respect to a predetermined time.

7 . The control device according to claim 6 , further comprising a setting unit, including one or more processors, configured to set, to the sweep control unit, a sweep time when the spectrum observation device performs a single sweep, on the basis of a frequency bandwidth or a signal time that can be used by each of the wireless communication systems.

8 . A non-transitory computer storage medium storing control program for causing a computer to function as each unit of the control device according to claim 6 .
