Abstract

A disclosure relates to a wireless communication system for instructing terminals to control resources based on radio wave conditions. The system comprises: generating, by a base station, information on radio wave conditions based on an uplink wireless signal from terminals, storing learning model data for generating the information on quality of communications with an amount of processing that is equal to or less than a threshold value, selecting learning model data on the basis of known information, and transmitting the learning model data and a downlink wireless signal, receiving, by the terminal, the learning model data, generating information representing the radio wave environment based on the downlink wireless signal, generating information representing quality of communication based on the learning model data and the information representing the radio wave condition, and controlling the communication resource for the wireless signal based on the information representing quality of communication.
