Abstract

A control apparatus includes a processor; and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to execute a process. The process includes determining a network usage mode of a device on the basis of a prediction value of network quality for each communication priority and requirements related to transmission of information; and setting the network usage mode determined by the determining wherein the determining includes changing the network usage mode on the basis of a quality measurement result for each communication priority of a network used by the device.

Claims (20)

1 . A control apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to execute a process, the process including

determining a network usage mode of a device on the basis of a prediction value of network quality for each communication priority and requirements related to transmission of information; and

setting the network usage mode determined by the determining,

wherein the determining includes changing the network usage mode on the basis of a quality measurement result for each communication priority of a network used by the device.

2 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determining includes determining transmission quality of the information on the basis of a prediction value related to quality of the information and requirements related to the quality of the information, and

the setting includes setting the transmission quality determined by the determining.

3 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the determining includes determining the network usage mode on the basis of information on future schedules that affect a network.

4 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a level of priority is allocated to each network which is a target for determination of the network usage mode for each communication priority, and a usage ratio is determined for each communication priority of each network on the basis of the allocated level of priority.

5 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the device is a moving object that travels,

the determination unit determines the determining includes determining whether control related to the travel is performed on the device on the basis of a measurement value or a prediction value of the quality of the information, and

the setting unit performs the setting includes performing the control related to the travel on the device in response to the determining that the control related to the travel is performed.

6 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the process further includes acquiring information on a position of the device.

7 . A control method executed by a control apparatus, the control method comprising:

determining a network usage mode of a device on the basis of a prediction value of network quality for each communication priority and requirements related to transmission of information;

setting the network usage mode determined by the determining; and

changing the network usage mode on the basis of a quality measurement result for each communication priority of a network used by the device.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed, cause a computer to function as the control apparatus according to claim 1 .
