Abstract
A communication apparatus detects a signal transmitted from a first base station in another wireless communication system that is different from a wireless communication system to which the communication apparatus belongs, and transmits first information and second information to a management apparatus that manages communication in the other wireless communication system, the first information being related to the first base station, the second information indicating a radio channel to be used in a case where communication involving user data is performed with a second base station belonging to the wireless communication system when the communication apparatus has detected the signal.
Claims24
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories that store computer-readable instructions for causing, when executed by the one or more processors, the communication apparatus to perform a method,
- wherein the method comprises:
- detecting a signal transmitted from a first base station in another wireless communication system that is different from a wireless communication system which includes the communication apparatus and a second base station and in which the communication apparatus is connected to the second base station, wherein when the signal is detected, communication from the first base station to another communication apparatus in the another wireless communication system interferes with communication using a same time-frequency resource from the second base station to the communication apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, in response to detecting the signal, information for causing the first base station to perform interference avoidance, the information including first information and second information to a management apparatus that manages communication in the another wireless communication system, the first information being related to the first base station, the second information indicating a radio channel to be used for performing communication involving user data with the second base station.
4 more elements
A management apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories that store computer-readable instructions for causing, when executed by the one or more processors, the management apparatus to perform a method,
- wherein the method comprises:
- managing a wireless communication system to which includes a base station and a communication apparatus;
- obtaining first information from the communication apparatus that is connected to the base station in response to detecting by the communication apparatus a signal transmitted from another base station included in another wireless communication system, the first information being related to the another base station, wherein when the signal is detected by the communication apparatus, communication from the another base station to another communication apparatus in the another wireless communication system interferes with communication using a same time-frequency resource from the base station to the communication apparatus;
- and
- transmitting information for causing the another base station to perform interference avoidance including the first information and second information to another management apparatus that manages communication in the another wireless communication system, the second information indicating a radio channel to be used for performing communication involving user data with the base station.

A control method performed by a communication apparatus, the control method comprising:
- detecting a signal transmitted from a first base station in another wireless communication system that is different from a wireless communication system to which includes the communication apparatus and a second base station and in which the communication apparatus is connected to the second base station, wherein when the signal is detected, communication from the first base station to another communication apparatus in the another wireless communication system interferes with communication using a same time-frequency resource from the second base station to the communication apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, in response to detecting the signal, information for causing the first base station to perform interference avoidance including first information and second information to a management apparatus that manages communication in the another wireless communication system, the first information being related to the first base station, the second information indicating a radio channel to be used for performing communication involving user data with the second base station.
A control method performed by a management apparatus, the control method comprising:
- managing a wireless communication system which includes a base station and a communication apparatus;
- obtaining first information from the communication apparatus that is connected to the base station in response to detecting by the communication apparatus a signal transmitted from another base station included in another wireless communication system, the first information being related to the another base station, wherein when the signal is detected by the communication apparatus, communication from the another base station to another communication apparatus in the another wireless communication system interferes with communication using a same time-frequency resource from the base station to the communication apparatus;
- and
- transmitting information for causing the another base station to perform interference avoidance including the first information and second information to another management apparatus that manages communication in the another wireless communication system, the second information indicating a radio channel to be used for performing communication involving user data with the base station.
1 more element
