Abstract
A mobile station control method by a computer for controlling a first mobile station for communicating with a second mobile station includes: distance detecting of detecting a distance between the first mobile station and the second mobile station; and first switching of switching a beam width of an electromagnetic wave emitted from the first mobile station to the second mobile station switching a beam width of an electromagnetic wave emitted from the first mobile station to the second mobile station the distance.
Claims18
A mobile station control method by a computer for controlling a first mobile station for communicating with a second mobile station, the mobile station control method comprising:
- detecting a distance between the first mobile station and the second mobile station;
- switching a beam width of an electromagnetic wave emitted from the first mobile station to the second mobile station based on the detected distance;
- and
- moving the first mobile station to a position where a distance between the first mobile station and the second mobile station is greater than the detected distance based on a value of a beam spread determined according to the beam width and the distance being less than a threshold value.
A mobile station control apparatus for controlling a first mobile station for communicating with a second mobile station, the mobile station control apparatus comprising:
- a distance information acquisition unit, implemented using one or more computing devices, configured to acquire distance information that indicate a distance between the first mobile station and the second mobile station;
- a switching unit, implemented using one or more computing devices, configured to switch a beam width of an electromagnetic wave emitted from the first mobile station to the second mobile station based on the distance indicated in the distance information;
- and
- a movement controller, implemented using one or more computing devices, configured to move the first mobile station to a position where a distance between the first mobile station and the second mobile station is greater than the distance indicated in the distance information based on a value of a beam spread determined according to the beam width and the distance being less than a threshold value.
