According to the present application, a base station device is configured to manage a vertically-oriented cell and a ground cell with respective IDs used to identify each cell, to determine whether or not a counterpart terminal device is an aircraft terminal device for air-to-ground communication based on a terminal ID included in a message received therefrom, and to control communication with the counterpart terminal device such that, if the counterpart terminal device is an aircraft terminal device, the base station selects the vertically-oriented cell as a connection destination of the counterpart terminal device and transmits a connection instruction message including a cell ID of the vertically-oriented cell to the counterpart terminal device, otherwise, the base station selects the ground cell as a connection destination of the counterpart terminal device and transmits a connection instruction message including a cell ID of the ground cell to the counterpart terminal device.
A base station device for performing air-to-ground communication with an aircraft terminal device for air-to-ground communication placed in an aircraft and for performing ground-to-ground communication with a ground terminal device placed on a ground location, the base station device comprising:
A communication system comprising a base station device for performing air-to-ground communication with an aircraft terminal device for air-to-ground communication placed in an aircraft and for performing ground-to-ground communication with a ground terminal device placed on a ground location,
A communication control method performed by a base station device for controlling communication with an aircraft terminal device for air-to-ground communication placed in an aircraft and a ground terminal device placed on a ground location, with regard to a connection destination thereof, the method comprising:
