Claims11
A control apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to control a plurality of fixed stations, which transmit same data to a single movable station via wireless communication;
- and
- a selection unit configured to select, from the plurality of fixed stations, a fixed station that repeatedly transmits said same data a plurality of times to the single movable station in accordance with movement of the movable station,
- wherein the controller controls the plurality of fixed stations in accordance with the selection by the selection unit, and
- wherein the selection unit selects the fixed station that repeatedly transmits the same data a plurality of times, based on communication qualities in communications between the single movable station and each of the plurality of fixed stations in accordance with movement of the movable station.
A control method of a control apparatus that comprises a controller configured to control a plurality of fixed stations, which transmit same data to a single movable station via wireless communication, the method comprising:
- selecting, from the plurality of fixed stations, a fixed station that repeatedly transmits said same data a plurality of times to the single movable station in accordance with movement of the movable station;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, the plurality of fixed stations in accordance with the selection in the selecting,
- wherein in the selecting, the fixed station that repeatedly transmits the same data a plurality of times is selected, based on communication qualities in communications between the single movable station and each of the plurality of fixed stations in accordance with movement of the moveable station.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to function as;
- a controller configured to control a plurality of fixed stations, which transmit same data to a single movable station via wireless communication;
- and
- a selection unit configured to select, from the plurality of fixed stations, a fixed station that repeatedly transmits said same data a plurality of times to the single movable station in accordance with movement of the movable station,
- wherein the controller controls the plurality of fixed stations in accordance with the selection by the selection unit, and
- wherein the selection unit selects the fixed station that repeatedly transmits the same data a plurality of times, based on communication qualities in communications between the single movable station and each of the plurality of fixed stations in accordance with movement of the movable station.
