Determination device, determination method, and determination program for switching networks based on a plurality of learning models

A determination method performed by a device and comprising:

• selectively connecting to and communicating with one of a plurality of communication networks,
• wherein the plurality of communication networks comprise one or more LTE networks, one or more 5G Sub 6 networks, one or more 5G mmWave networks and one or more WiFi networks;
• acquiring both:
• sensor information, the sensor information including:
• information regarding a current position and speed of a user that is detected by a mobile communication device being used by the user,
• information about a future position and speed of the user that is inferred by the mobile communication device, and
• information about a time related to downloading information by the user via the mobile communication device, and
• communication network specific communication information indicating a state of communication quality of a respective one of the plurality of communication networks;
• and
• determining whether to switch from a current communication network of the plurality of communication networks to another communication network among the plurality of communication networks, on the basis of the acquired sensor information and acquired communication information,
• wherein the current communication network is one of the one or more LTE networks, the one or more 5G Sub 6 networks, the one or more 5G mm Wave networks or the one or more WiFi networks,
• wherein the another communication network is a different one of the one or more LTE networks, the one or more 5G Sub 6 networks, the one or more 5G mmWave networks or the one or more WiFi networks,
• wherein the method further comprises:
• determining whether to switch from the current communication network to the another communication network based on a plurality of learning models respectively corresponding to the plurality of communication networks, each of the plurality of learning models outputting scores that are generated based on the acquired communication information and the acquired sensor information,
• upon determining whether to switch from the current communication network to the another communication network, using the plurality of learning models to select, as the another communication network, a communication network among the plurality of communication networks having a maximum score of the scores that are output from the plurality of learning models, and
• switching from the current communication network to the selected communication network.

A non-transitory computer product containing a determination program for causing a computer to:

• selectively connecting to and communicating with one of a plurality of communication networks,
• wherein the plurality of communication networks comprise one or more LTE networks, one or more 5G Sub 6 networks, one or more 5G mmWave networks and one or more WiFi networks;
• acquiring both:
• information regarding a current position and speed of a user that is detected by a mobile communication device being used by the user,
• information about a future position and speed of the user that is inferred by the mobile communication device, and
• information about a time related to downloading information by the user via the mobile communication device, and
• communication network specific communication information indicating a state of communication quality of a respective one of the plurality of communication networks;
• and
• determining whether to switch from a current communication network of the plurality of communication networks to another communication network among the plurality of communication networks, on the basis of the acquired sensor information and acquired communication information,
• wherein the current communication network is one of the one or more LTE networks, the one or more 5G Sub 6 networks, the one or more 5G mm Wave networks or the one or more WiFi networks,
• wherein the another communication network is a different one of the one or more LTE networks, the one or more 5G Sub 6 networks, the one or more 5G mm Wave networks or the one or more WiFi networks,
• wherein the method further comprises:
• determining whether to switch from the current communication network to the another communication network based on a plurality of learning models respectively corresponding to the plurality of communication networks, each of the plurality of learning models outputting scores that are generated based on the acquired communication information and the acquired sensor information,
• upon determining whether to switch from the current communication network to the another communication network, using the plurality of learning models to select, as the another communication network, a communication network among the plurality of communication networks having a maximum score of the scores that are output from the plurality of learning models, and
• switching from the current communication network to the selected communication network.
