COMMUNICATION CONTROL APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, TERMINAL EQUIPMENT AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A communication control apparatus to control handover with terminal equipment comprising:
- a position information acquisition unit to acquire position information containing a position of the terminal equipment and a cell ID specifying a cell to which the terminal equipment is connected at the position;
a storage unit to store a series of the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit as position information history;
a determination unit to determine whether or not the terminal equipment should have been connected to each cell specified by each cell ID contained in the position information history on a movement route of the terminal equipment corresponding to the position information history stored in the storage unit; and
a data generation unit to generate recommended handover order data indicating connection order of cells to be recommended for the terminal equipment by removing a cell ID specifying a cell determined to which the terminal equipment should not have been connected by the determination unit from the position information history.
