Control apparatus, radio communication system, and control method

A radio communication system including movable wireless stations and a control apparatus for controlling the movable wireless stations, wherein the control apparatus comprises

• a first processor;
• and
• a first memory that includes instructions, which when executed, cause the first processor to execute:
• calculating combination candidates of movement routes of a plurality of movable wireless stations where a distance between the movement routes of the plurality of movable wireless stations to be moved is equal to or more than a first distance or a maximum distance,
• calculating combination candidates of movement timing and movement speed where the distance between the plurality of movable wireless stations is equal to or more than a second distance or a maximum distance from the combination candidates of the movement routes of the plurality of movable wireless stations, and
• instructing the plurality of movable wireless stations to move by using a combination where a movement time or a movement distance of the plurality of movable wireless stations is the minimum or a combination where the movement time or the movement distance of the plurality of movable wireless stations is equal to or less than a predetermined value among the calculated combination candidates, and the movable wireless station comprises
• a second processor;
• and
• a second memory that includes instructions, which when executed, cause the second processor to execute:
• moving the movable wireless station in accordance with an instruction from the control apparatus.

A control method executed by a computer for controlling movable wireless stations, the control method comprising:

• a first calculation processing of calculating combination candidates of movement routes of a plurality of movable wireless stations where a distance between the movement routes of the plurality of movable wireless stations to be moved is equal to or more than a first distance or a maximum distance;
• a second calculation processing of calculating combination candidates of movement timing and movement speed where a distance between the plurality of movable wireless stations is equal to or more than a second distance or a maximum distance from the combination candidates of the movement routes of the plurality of movable wireless stations;
• and
• a movement instruction processing of instructing the plurality of movable wireless stations to move by using a combination where a movement time or a movement distance of the plurality of movable wireless stations is the minimum or a combination where the movement time or the movement distance of the plurality of movable wireless stations is equal to or less than a predetermined value among the combination candidates calculated by the first calculation processing or the second calculation processing.
