Communication system, server apparatus, base station apparatus and communication control method

A communication system including a terminal apparatus and a base station apparatus, the base station being configured to perform wireless communication with the terminal apparatus, the communication system comprising:

• a terminal apparatus;
• a first base station apparatus configured to perform wireless communication with the terminal apparatus in conformity with a first communication method, the first base station apparatus being configured to transmit and receive user data to and from the terminal apparatus;
• a second base station apparatus configured to perform wireless communication with the terminal apparatus in conformity with a second communication method so as to assist wireless communication between the terminal apparatus and the first base station apparatus;
• and
• a server apparatus,
• wherein the terminal apparatus comprises:
• a communicator configured to transmit terminal information including location information of the terminal apparatus itself to the server apparatus via the second base station apparatus,
• wherein the server apparatus comprises:
• a communicator configured to transmit notification information including the location information of the terminal apparatus to the first base station apparatus, and
• wherein the first base station apparatus comprises:
• a controller configured to generate communication control information based on the location information of the terminal apparatus;
• and
• a communication controller configured to control wireless communication between the first base station and the terminal apparatus based on the communication control information.

A server apparatus comprising:

• a communicator configured to perform wireless communication with first and second base station apparatuses, wherein the first base station apparatus is configured to perform wireless communication with a terminal apparatus in conformity with a first communication method, and wherein the second base station apparatus is configured to perform wireless communication with the terminal apparatus in conformity with a second communication method;
• and
• a controller,
• wherein the communicator is configured to receive terminal information transmitted from the terminal apparatus via the second base station apparatus,
• wherein the controller is configured to generate communication control information based on location information of the terminal apparatus, the location information being included in the terminal information,
• wherein the communicator is configured to transmit notification information including the communication control information to the first base station apparatus, and
• wherein the communication control information is used for exercising control on wireless communication between the first base station and the terminal apparatus.

A base station apparatus configured to perform wireless communication with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

• a first communicator configured to transmit and receive data to and from the terminal apparatus;
• a second communicator configured to receive notification information transmitted from a server apparatus;
• and
• a controller,
• wherein the second communicator is configured to receive the notification information including location information of the terminal apparatus, the location information being acquired by the server apparatus, and
• wherein the controller is configured to generate communication control information based on the location information of the terminal apparatus, and control wireless communication between the first communicator and the terminal apparatus based on the communication control information.

A communication control method for controlling communication between a terminal apparatus and a base station apparatus, the base station apparatus including a first base station apparatus configured to perform wireless communication with the terminal apparatus in conformity with a first communication method, wherein a second base station apparatus is configured to perform wireless communication with the terminal apparatus in conformity with a second communication method which is different from the first communication method, the communication control method comprising:

• the terminal apparatus transmitting terminal information including location information of the terminal apparatus to a server apparatus via the second base station apparatus in conformity with the second communication method;
• the server apparatus transmitting notification information including communication control information to the first base station apparatus, the communication control information being generated by the server apparatus based on the location information of the terminal apparatus;
• and
• the first base station apparatus controlling wireless communication between the first base station and the terminal apparatus based on the communication control information.
