Wireless communication system, wireless communication control method, and wireless communication control device

A wireless communication control method for switching a connection destination of a ground wireless station from a first node station to a second node station,

• the ground wireless station being located within a communication area,
• the first node station being connectable to the ground wireless station in a part of the communication area, and
• the second node station being connectable to the ground wireless station in a part of the communication area,
• the wireless communication control method comprising:
• establishing a link between the ground wireless station and an absolute node station in a case where a link between the ground wireless station and the second node station cannot be established before a link between the ground wireless station and the first node station is disconnected, the absolute node station being disposed to be connectable to the ground wireless station in the entire communication area and having a connection priority lower than connection priorities of the first node station and the second node station;
• switching the connection destination from the first node station to the absolute node station;
• and
• switching the connection destination to the second node station after a link between the ground wireless station and the second node station is established.

A wireless communication control apparatus for switching a connection destination of a ground wireless station from a first node station to a second node station,

• the ground wireless station for use within a communication area,
• the first node station being connectable to the ground wireless station in a part of the communication area, and
• the second node station being connectable to the ground wireless station in a part of the communication area,
• wherein the wireless communication control apparatus includes circuitry configured to:
• establish a link between the ground wireless station and an absolute node station in a case where a link between the ground wireless station and the second node station cannot be established before a link between the ground wireless station and the first node station is disconnected, the absolute node station being disposed to be connectable to the ground wireless station in the entire communication area and having a connection priority lower than connection priorities of the first node station and the second node station,
• switch the connection destination from the first node station to the absolute node station, and
• switch the connection destination to the second node station after a link between the ground wireless station and the second node station is established.
