Abstract

To enable avoidance of termination of wireless connection between a base station and a terminal apparatus. A first base station (a base station 100 A) comprises: an acquisition unit 141 configured to acquire mobility information on a terminal apparatus 200 , the mobility information corresponding to information related to a beam formed for wireless communication with the terminal apparatus 200 ; and a control unit 143 configured to control processing related to handover for the terminal apparatus 200 , based on the mobility information on the terminal apparatus 200.

Claims (23)

1. A first base station comprising:

a memory storing a program; and

one or more processors configured to execute the program to:

acquire mobility information on a terminal apparatus, the mobility information being estimated by the first base station from information related to a beam formed for wireless communication between the first base station and the terminal apparatus, wherein the mobility information comprise: moving speed and moving direction of the terminal apparatus;

analyze a present movement pattern of the terminal apparatus based on the mobility information; and

predict occurrence of handover for the terminal apparatus from the first base station to a second base station, by comparing the present movement pattern of the terminal apparatus with a learned movement pattern determined that handover occurs.

2. The first base station according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the program to predict timing when the handover for the terminal apparatus occurs.

3. The first base station according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the program to predict a second base station being a handover destination for the terminal apparatus.

4. The first base station according to claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the program to predict information related to a beam formed in the second base station.

5. The first base station according to claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the program to transmit information related to the handover for the terminal apparatus, to the second base station.

6. The first base station according to claim 5 , wherein the information related to the handover for the terminal apparatus includes the information related to the beam formed in the second base station.

7. The first base station according to claim 5 , wherein the information related to the handover for the terminal apparatus includes the mobility information on the terminal apparatus.

8. The first base station according to claim 5 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the program to receive information related to a beam formed in the handover for the terminal apparatus, from the second base station.

9. The first base station according to claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors configured to execute the program to transmit information related to the handover for the terminal apparatus, to a node of a core network.

10. The first base station according to claim 1 , wherein the learned movement pattern determined that handover occurs is a movement pattern learned based on a correspondence between mobility of a terminal apparatus and information related to time from determination that handover occurs until completion of handover processing.

11. A method including:

acquiring mobility information on a terminal apparatus, the mobility information being estimated by the first base station from information related to a beam formed for wireless communication between the first base station and the terminal apparatus, wherein the mobility information comprise: moving speed and moving direction of the terminal apparatus;

analyzing a present movement pattern of the terminal apparatus based on the mobility information; and

predicting occurrence of handover for the terminal apparatus from the first base station to a second base station, by comparing the present movement pattern of the terminal apparatus with a learned movement pattern determined that handover occurs.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a processor to execute:

acquiring mobility information on a terminal apparatus, the mobility information being estimated by the first base station from information related to a beam formed for wireless communication between the first base station and the terminal apparatus, wherein the mobility information comprise: moving speed and moving direction of the terminal apparatus;

analyzing a present movement pattern of the terminal apparatus based on the mobility information; and

predicting occurrence of handover for the terminal apparatus from the first base station to a second base station, by comparing the present movement pattern of the terminal apparatus with a learned movement pattern determined that handover occurs.
