Abstract

A capacity estimation unit estimates a channel capacity related to wireless communication between a communication device and a relay device. A scheme determination unit determines a transmission scheme of the data from the communication device to the relay device to be a scheme in which transmission efficiency is lower and transmission quality is higher as the channel capacity is larger, or to be a scheme in which the transmission quality is lower and the transmission efficiency is higher as the channel capacity is smaller.

Claims (19)

1 . A communication system including a relay device that performs communication while moving and a communication device that transmits data to the relay device, the communication system comprising:

a capacity specifier that specifies a channel capacity related to wireless communication between the communication device and the relay device; and

a scheme determiner that determines a transmission scheme of the data from the communication device to the relay device to be a scheme in which transmission efficiency is lower and transmission quality is higher as the channel capacity is larger, or to be a scheme in which the transmission quality is lower and the transmission efficiency is higher as the channel capacity is smaller.

2 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheme determiner increases a multi-value number of the transmission scheme as the channel capacity is smaller.

3 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheme determiner decreases a data amount of an error correction code or an error detection code of the transmission scheme as the channel capacity is smaller.

4 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheme determiner increases transmission power related to transmission of the data as the channel capacity is smaller.

5 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the capacity specifier and the scheme determiner are included in the relay device,

the relay device includes a notifier that notifies the communication device of the determined transmission scheme, and

the communication device includes a transmitter that transmits the data to the relay device according to the transmission scheme notified by the relay device.

6 . The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the scheme determiner determines not to transmit the data in a case where the channel capacity is smaller than a predetermined threshold.

7 . A communication method between a relay device that performs communication while moving and a communication device that transmits data to the relay device, the communication method comprising:

estimating a channel capacity related to wireless communication between the communication device and the relay device;

determining a transmission scheme of the data from the communication device to the relay device to be a scheme in which transmission efficiency is lower and transmission quality is higher as the channel capacity is larger, or to be a scheme in which the transmission quality is lower and the transmission efficiency is higher as the channel capacity is smaller; and

transmitting the data from the communication device to the relay device according to the determined transmission scheme.
