Abstract

A wireless communication system capable of dealing with weather that changes abruptly and capable of keeping communication quality at a certain standard or higher is provided. The wireless communication system comprises a first base station, and a second base station that performs communication mutually with the first base station. Each of the first base station and the second base station includes a transceiver unit being connected to an antenna for the communication, and a processing unit that controls the transceiver unit for the communication by referring to meteorological data in a place where the base station is located. The processing unit of the first base station, at a predetermined cycle, accumulates a set of meteorological data in a place where the first base station is located, and data on received electric power for the communication by referring to the meteorological data.

Claims (71)

1. A base station that performs communication mutually with an opposing base station, the base station comprising:

a transceiver connected to an antenna for the communication; and a processor that controls the transceiver for the communication by referring to meteorological data in a located place, wherein

the processor, at a predetermined cycle,

accumulates a set of meteorological data in the located place, and data on received electric power for the communication by referring to the meteorological data,

when there is a change in the meteorological data, calculates a control parameter for controlling the transceiver by calling a past parameter relating to meteorological data, and

causes the calculated control parameter to be transmitted to the opposing base station, and

wherein

the processor confirms, after causing the calculated control parameter to be transmitted to the opposing base station, whether there is a change in received electric power of an own station, and,

when there is a change in received electric power of the own station, controls the transceiver by a control parameter being received from the opposing base station.

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor

confirms, in confirming whether there is a change in received electric power of the own station, whether received electric power of the own station lies within a preset threshold value when there is a change in received electric power of the own station, and,

when received electric power of the own station does not lie within a preset threshold value, calculates a control parameter by calling a past parameter relating to meteorological data, and causes the calculated control parameter to be transmitted to the opposing base station.

3. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor

confirms, in confirming whether there is a change in received electric power of the own station, whether received electric power of the own station lies within a preset threshold value when there is a change in received electric power of the own station, and,

when received electric power of the own station lies within a preset threshold value, controls the transceiver by a control parameter being received from the opposing base station.

4. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor

confirms at a predetermined cycle whether there is an instruction from the opposing base station to change a control parameter for controlling the transceiver of an own station,

when there is an instruction to change the control parameter, confirms whether there is a change in meteorological data in a place where the own station is located, and,

when there is no change in meteorological data in a place where the own station is located, controls the transceiver by a control parameter being received from the opposing base station.

5. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor

confirms at a predetermined cycle whether there is an instruction from the opposing base station to change a control parameter for controlling the transceiver of an own station,

when there is an instruction to change the control parameter, confirms whether there is a change in meteorological data in a place where the own station is located, and,

when there is a change in meteorological data in a place where the own station is located, calculates a control parameter for controlling the transceiver by calling a past parameter relating to meteorological data, and confirms appropriateness of an instruction to change a control parameter from the opposing base station by comparing a calculated control parameter with a control parameter from the opposing base station.

6. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor

controls the transceiver for the communication by further referring to meteorological data in a place on a communication path between an own station and the opposing base station.

7. A wireless communication system comprising:

a first base station; and a second base station that performs communication mutually with the first base station, wherein

each of the first base station and the second base station

includes a transceiver connected to an antenna for the communication, and a processor that controls the transceiver for the communication by referring to meteorological data in a place where the base station is located, and

the processor of the first base station, at a predetermined cycle,

accumulates a set of meteorological data in a place where the first base station is located, and data on received electric power for the communication by referring to the meteorological data,

when there is a change in the meteorological data, calculates a control parameter for controlling the transceiver by calling a past parameter relating to meteorological data, and

causes the calculated control parameter to be transmitted to the second base station, and

wherein

the processor of the first base station

confirms, after causing the calculated control parameter to be transmitted to the second base station, whether there is a change in received electric power of the first base station, and,

when there is a change in received electric power of the first base station, controls the transceiver of the first base station by a control parameter being received from the second base station.

8. The wireless communication system according to claim 7 , wherein

the processor of the first base station

confirms, in confirming whether there is a change in received electric power of the first base station, whether received electric power of the first base station lies within a preset threshold value when there is a change in received electric power of the first base station, and,

when received electric power of the first base station does not lie within a preset threshold value, calculates a control parameter by calling a past parameter relating to meteorological data, and causes the calculated control parameter to be transmitted to the second base station.

9. The wireless communication system according to claim 7 , wherein

the processor of the first base station

confirms, in confirming whether there is a change in received electric power of the first base station, whether received electric power of the first base station lies within a preset threshold value when there is a change in received electric power of the first base station, and,
