Communication device and communication method

A communication device comprising:

• a communication unit configured to perform wireless communication, and
• a notification unit configured to acquire information regarding a communication quality of at least one of a direct first radio link or a second radio link via a relay terminal, which is configured to be movable, between a remote terminal and a base station, and to directly or indirectly notify an external device that switches the radio link to be used in communication between the remote terminal and the base station of the acquired information regarding the communication quality.

A communication device comprising:

• a communication unit configured to perform wireless communication;
• and
• a control unit configured to allocate a resource for communication between a first relay terminal and a second relay terminal in a case in which, on a basis of information regarding a communication quality of one or more radio links including at least one of a direct first radio link or a second radio link via a relay terminal, which is configured to be movable, between a remote terminal and a base station, it is decided that the radio link to be used in communication between the remote terminal and the base station is to be switched from the second radio link via the first relay terminal to the second radio link via the second relay terminal.

A communication method comprising:

• performing wireless communication;
• and
• acquiring, by a computer, information regarding a communication quality of one or more radio links including at least one of a direct first radio link or a second radio link via a relay terminal, which is configured to be movable, between a remote terminal and a base station via wireless communication, and switching the radio link to be used in communication between the remote terminal and the base station on a basis of the acquired information regarding the communication quality.
