Control device, program and control method

A control device for controlling a flight vehicle including a battery;

• an antenna for forming a communication area on the ground to provide wireless communication service for a user terminal in the communication area by using electric power of the battery;
• and an electric power generation unit, the control device comprising:
• an electric power generation amount acquisition unit for acquiring an electric power generation amount generated by the electric power generation unit;
• and
• a control unit for performing control so as to reduce the number of cells included in the communication area when a predetermined condition is satisfied while the flight vehicle forms the communication area including a plurality of cells to provide wireless communication service for the user terminal, wherein
• the battery stores electric power generated by the electric power generation unit, and
• the control unit performs control so as to reduce the number of cells included in the communication area when the electric power generation amount generated by the electric power generation unit is smaller than a predetermined threshold value.

A control device for controlling a flight vehicle including a battery;

• and an antenna for forming a communication area on the ground to provide wireless communication service for a user terminal in the communication area by using electric power of the battery, the control device comprising:
• a base station information acquisition unit for acquiring base station information about a ground wireless base station equipped in a target area on the ground that is covered by the communication area formed by the flight vehicle;
• and
• a control unit for performing control so as to reduce the number of cells included in the communication area when a predetermined condition is satisfied while the flight vehicle forms the communication area including a plurality of cells to provide wireless communication service for the user terminal, wherein
• the control unit performs control so as to reduce the number of cells included in the communication area to a number corresponding to the number of ground wireless base stations equipped in the target area when the base station information satisfies a predetermined condition.

A control device for controlling a flight vehicle including a battery;

• and an antenna for forming a communication area on the ground to provide wireless communication service for a user terminal in the communication area by using electric power of the battery, the control device comprising:
• a control unit for performing control so as to reduce the number of cells included in the communication area when a predetermined condition is satisfied while the flight vehicle forms the communication area including a plurality of cells to provide wireless communication service for the user terminal, wherein
• the control unit performs control so as to reduce the number of cells included in the communication area by determining a cell to be continued and a cell to be stopped among a plurality of cells included in the communication area and stopping formation of the cell to be stopped, and
• the control unit determines the cell to be continued from the plurality of cells, according to in descending order of communication traffic.

A control method for controlling a flight vehicle including a battery;

• and an antenna for forming a communication area on the ground to provide wireless communication service for a user terminal in the communication area by using electric power of the battery, the control method comprising:
• acquiring a remaining battery level of the battery;
• and
• performing control so as to reduce the number of cells included in the communication area when a predetermined condition is satisfied while the flight vehicle forms the communication area including a plurality of cells to provide wireless communication service for the user terminal, wherein
• the controlling step performs control so as to reduce the number of cells included in the communication area when the remaining battery level is smaller than a predetermined threshold value.
