Abstract
Provided is a flight vehicle which has an antenna for forming a wireless communication area by irradiating beam towards a ground to provide a wireless communication service to a user terminal in the wireless communication area, the flight vehicle including an FL communication unit which communicates with a core network on the ground via a feeder link, a UP execution unit which executes a user plane function, and a communication control unit which performs control such that communication between a first user terminal in the wireless communication area and a second user terminal is relayed without intermediation of the core network by the user plane function.
Claims13
A flight vehicle which has an antenna for forming a wireless communication area by irradiating beam towards a ground to provide a wireless communication service to a user terminal in the wireless communication area, the flight vehicle comprising:
- an FL communication unit which communicates with a core network on the ground via a feeder link;
- a UP execution unit which executes a user plane function;
- and
- a communication control unit which performs control such that communication between a first user terminal in the wireless communication area and a second user terminal in an other wireless communication area of an other flight vehicle is relayed without intermediation of the core network by the user plane function.
A control method executed by a flight vehicle which has an antenna for forming a wireless communication area by irradiating beam towards a ground to provide a wireless communication service to a user terminal in the wireless communication area, the control method comprising:
- performing FL communication to communicate with a core network on the ground via a feeder link;
- performing UP execution by executing a user plane function;
- and
- performing communication control by performing control such that communication between a first user terminal in the wireless communication area and a second user terminal in an other wireless communication area of an other flight vehicle is relayed without intermediation of the core network by the user plane function.
