Control apparatus, wireless communication system, and program
A control apparatus that determines a relief carrier that relieves communication in a failure area occurring when an antenna of a wireless base station fails and a tilt angle of the relief carrier includes: a failure area aggregation unit that aggregates a plurality of adjacent failure areas to collectively generate a single aggregated failure area; a relief carrier selection unit that selects a plurality of relief carriers for the aggregated failure area; and a tilt angle determination unit that simultaneously optimizes a plurality of tilt angles in the plurality of relief carriers.
1 . A control apparatus that determines a relief carrier that relieves communication in a failure area occurring when an antenna of a wireless base station fails and a tilt angle of the relief carrier, the control apparatus comprising:
a first processor; and
a first memory that includes instructions, which when executed, cause the first processor to execute a first method, said first method including:
aggregating a plurality of adjacent failure areas to collectively generate a single aggregated failure area;
selecting a plurality of relief carriers for the aggregated failure area; and
optimizing simultaneously a plurality of tilt angles in the plurality of relief carriers.
2 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the selecting includes selecting, as the relief carriers, a carrier having a lowest frequency in each base station selected in order of proximity to a center of gravity of the aggregated failure area.
3 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the optimizing includes optimizing by using an objective function including a coverage area size of the relief carriers as a penalty term.
4 . The control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
the optimizing includes optimizing by using the objective function including a failure area coverage rate of the aggregated failure area, an important area coverage rate of an important area in the aggregated failure area, and the coverage area size of the relief carriers.
5 . A wireless communication system comprising:
the control apparatus according to claim 1 ; and
a wireless base station including:
a second processor; and
a second memory that includes instructions, which when executed, cause the second processor to execute a second method, said second method including:
performing communication by using a relief carrier and a tilt angle determined by the control apparatus.
6 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed, cause a computer including a memory and a processor to execute a process, the process comprising:
aggregating a plurality of adjacent failure areas to collectively generate a single aggregated failure area;
selecting a plurality of relief carriers for the aggregated failure area; and
optimizing simultaneously a plurality of tilt angles in the plurality of relief carriers.
