Communication device, communication control method and program

A communication control method comprising the steps of

• acquiring sensed data related to a signal receiving condition in a spectrum assigned to a first communication service;
• determining which of a first area inside a service area of the first communication service where a signal receiving condition is suitable, a second area inside or in a peripheral part of the service area where a signal receiving condition is not suitable and a third area outside the peripheral part of the service area the communication device is located based on the acquired sensed data;
• and
• starting usage of a second communication service using a part or whole of the spectrum assigned to the first communication service by a procedure different depending on a kind of the area where the communication device is located.

A program causing a computer controlling a communication device to implement functions comprising:

• a data acquisition unit that acquires sensed data related to a signal receiving condition in a spectrum assigned to a first communication service;
• a determination unit that determines which of a first area inside a service area of the first communication service where a signal receiving condition is suitable, a second area inside or in a peripheral part of the service area where a signal receiving condition is not suitable and a third area outside the peripheral part of the service area the communication device is located based on the sensed data acquired by the data acquisition unit;
• and
• a secondary usage starting unit that starts usage of a second communication service using a part or whole of the spectrum assigned to the first communication service by a procedure different depending on a kind of the area where the communication device is located determined by the determination unit.
