  Conventionally, there is a navigation system that displays a movement route to a destination of a moving body such as a vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In such a navigation system, a travel route is searched based on the reception status of radio waves such as television broadcasting in addition to the distance to the destination and the required time. In addition, based on the reception quality data of digital television broadcasts when the vehicle has traveled in the past and the reception quality data of other vehicles, a method for notifying the reception status of digital television broadcasts in the route that will be passed is proposed. (For example, see Patent Document 2). In addition, when only one RAN (RADIO ACCESS NETWORK) cannot allocate radio resources so as to satisfy QoS (QoS; Quality of Service) required by mobile terminals including mobile terminals (for example, Patent Documents) 3) is handled by a plurality of available RANs.

[Outline of route extraction system]
The route extraction system 1 of this embodiment includes a server 4, a service center 5, a base station 10, and a mobile terminal 100. Among these, the server 4 and the service center 5 are connected via a core network.
The server 4 includes an integrated wireless environment information database and a wireless resource manager 3. The configuration of each part of the server 4 will be described later.
The service center 5 provides a route search service. Specifically, the service center 5 provides travel route candidates that satisfy search conditions such as travel time, travel distance, and travel cost in response to a travel route search request from a service user.

  The route extraction system 1 can be realized by various configurations. For example, the server 4 or the mobile terminal 100 may be configured to have the function of a travel route search unit. Hereinafter, a case where the service center 5 has a function of a travel route search unit will be described.

  This route extraction system 1 has a plurality of radio access networks (RAN). As an example of this radio access network, FIG. 2 shows RAN1, RAN2, and RAN3. Among these, RAN1 has macrocell base station BS_A which provides a macrocell. RAN2 has a microcell base station BS_B that provides a microcell. Moreover, RAN3 has picocell base station BS_C which provides a picocell. Each cell has an overlapping part, and a mobile terminal located in the cell overlapping part can use any of the overlapping cells. In the following description, the macro cell base station BS_A, the micro cell base station BS_B, and the pico cell base station BS_C are also collectively referred to as a base station 10.

  Next, basic configurations of the base station 10 and the mobile terminal 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The base station 10 includes a core network side interface 11, a virtual MAC processing unit 12, a radio scheme selection unit 13, a radio module 14, and a radio environment detection unit 15.

  The core network side interface 11 transmits and receives network layer communication data (IP (Internet Protocol) packets) to and from the core network. The virtual MAC processing unit 12 performs processing for establishing a link using a virtual MAC address. The wireless method selection unit 13 selects a wireless module to be used for communication from the plurality of wireless modules 14. The wireless module 14 includes wireless modules 14a, 14b, and 14c respectively corresponding to a plurality of RANs (macro cell, micro cell, and pico cell).

  The wireless environment detection unit 15 includes an antenna 16 and acquires wireless quality information. The wireless environment detection unit 15 transmits the acquired wireless quality information to the server 4 in response to a request from the server 4. The server 4 stores this wireless quality information in the integrated wireless environment information database 2 in the server 4. This radio quality information includes, for example, RSSI, background noise level, modulation method, amount of data waiting for transmission stored in the transmission buffer, the number of times a NACK signal indicating transmission failure is received from the other station, and received from the other station. And the defective rate of the radio frame.

  The mobile terminal 100 includes a user network side interface 101, a virtual MAC processing unit 102, a wireless method selection unit 103, a wireless module 104, a wireless environment detection unit 105, and a navigation unit 110.

  The user network side interface 101 transmits and receives network layer communication data (for example, IP (Internet Protocol) packets) to and from the user network. The virtual MAC processing unit 102 performs processing for establishing a link using the virtual MAC address. The wireless method selection unit 103 selects a wireless module to be used for communication from the plurality of wireless modules 104. The wireless module 104 includes wireless modules 104a, 104b, and 104c respectively corresponding to a plurality of RANs (macro cell, micro cell, and pico cell).

  The wireless environment detection unit 105 includes an antenna 106 and acquires wireless quality information. The wireless environment detection unit 105 transmits the acquired wireless quality information to the server 4 via the base station 10 at the time of registration with the base station 10 or upon a request from the server 4. The server 4 stores the received wireless quality information in the integrated wireless environment information database 2 in the server 4. The wireless quality information acquired by the wireless environment detection unit 105 is the same as the wireless quality information acquired by the wireless environment detection unit 15 of the base station 10, and thus description thereof is omitted.

The navigation unit 110 includes a search request unit 111, a display operation unit 112, and a notification unit 113.
The search request unit 111 sends a request (search request) for extracting a travel route to the destination from a plurality of routes included in the map information based on an operation of a user who operates the mobile terminal 100. Output to (route extraction unit).
The display operation unit 112 includes a route selection unit (not shown) and a movement route display unit. The route selection unit extracts the movement extracted by the route extraction unit based on the communication quality of the wireless communication between the base station and the own apparatus when the movement route extracted by the service center 5 (route extraction unit) moves. Select the movement route to be displayed from the routes. The movement route display unit includes a liquid crystal display and the like, and displays the movement route selected by the route selection unit.

  In the present embodiment, the user outputs a search request to the service center 5 via the search request unit 111. This search request includes the geographical information of the current location and the destination, and information indicating the quality required for wireless communication performed during movement. When the service center 5 receives the search request, the service center 5 extracts a travel route candidate (moving route candidate) to the destination from a plurality of routes included in the map information based on the map information stored in advance. . For each movement path candidate extracted by the service center 5, the server 4 estimates a network state on the movement path candidate as the mobile terminal 100 moves. Further, the server 4 determines whether or not there is a congested section that does not satisfy the communication quality requested by the user. The mobile terminal 100 receives, via the base station 10, the travel route candidate extracted by the service center 5 and information indicating the presence / absence of a congestion section for each travel route candidate generated by the server 4. The mobile terminal 100 presents the received travel route candidate and information indicating the presence or absence of a congested section to the user via the display operation unit 112. The user selects one of the movement route candidates. Then, the travel route candidate selected by the user is transmitted to the server 4 via the notification unit 113 and registered for reservation.

  In other words, the route selection unit performs wireless communication from the movement routes extracted by the service center 5 (route extraction unit) based on the communication quality for each movement route extracted by the service center 5 (route extraction unit). A travel route that satisfies the required communication quality is selected as a travel route to be displayed.

  Here, examples of communication quality (QoS; Quality of Service) requested by the user include throughput [Mbps], delay [msec], packet loss [%], and the like.

  Further, the required quality of wireless communication performed during movement differs for each application of the mobile terminal 100 used by the user. For example, certainty and confidentiality are important for applications that handle e-mail, data, and the like, and real-time performance (speed) is important for applications that handle IP telephones and streaming. In the navigation unit 110 of this embodiment, the search request unit 111 converts the quality assurance factors of these applications into communication quality factors viewed from the network side.

  For example, if an operation setting of an application to be executed while the user is moving is performed on the navigation unit 110, the search request unit 111 sets the lower limit value of the throughput [Mbps] as the communication quality of the user request based on the operation setting specification of the application. ], An upper limit value [msec] of delay, an upper limit value [%] of packet loss, and the like, and are attached to the search condition as communication quality requested by the user. In this way, by setting the upper limit value or the lower limit value of the communication quality factor of the user request, the user can select a travel route candidate without a congested section (not satisfying the communication quality of the user request) via the display operation unit 112. If selected, the execution quality of the application is guaranteed when the user executes the application on the movement route.

  Note that the required quality for wireless communication performed while moving is not limited to the above-described throughput, delay, and packet loss. For example, in the case of a real-time UGS (band grant service) application such as voice communication, an upper limit value of delay may be set or an upper limit value of jitter may be set.

  The search conditions for the travel route search by the service center 5 include travel time, travel distance and / or travel cost (communication cost, mobile object, in addition to geographical information of current location and destination, communication quality requested by the user) If the vehicle is a vehicle, it is desirable that these search conditions are weighted.

  Further, the server 4 may transmit the geographical section information of the congested section and / or the scheduled congestion time zone information to the mobile terminal 100 for the travel route candidate in which the congested section exists. In this case, the mobile terminal 100 presents the geographical section information of the congested section and / or the scheduled congestion time zone information to the user via the display operation unit 112. Thereby, for example, when it is determined that the geographical interval or the scheduled congestion time zone of the crowded section is short, the user determines that the execution quality of the application does not have to be guaranteed for the section or the time slot. You can also

  In addition, the user can make a reservation registration of a moving route candidate having a congested section to the server 4 via the notification unit 113 and request priority assignment for preferentially assigning radio resources to the mobile terminal 100. In this case, the server 4 changes the network state (wireless resource allocation state) in the congested section on the moving route candidate so as to satisfy the communication quality requested by the user.

  As described above, the applications handled while the mobile body moves are diversified, and depending on the situation, there is a possibility that the priority order of applications from the viewpoint of importance and urgency may be relatively high. For example, in an ambulance vehicle, when a patient is transported while taking medical measures, a situation is assumed in which medical measures are taken while receiving instructions from a specialist at another point. In such a case, an application that handles VoIP, (moving image) streaming, or the like is assumed as an application executed during movement, and high communication quality is required with a shorter movement time.

  In such an assumed scene, since the communication quality requested by the user is high, the moving route candidate presented in the display operation unit 112 includes a moving route candidate having a congested section, and the moving route candidate has the shortest moving time. There is a possibility that it is a moving route. In such a case, if the mobile terminal 100 makes a priority allocation request to the server 4 and the server 4 preferentially allocates radio resources to the mobile terminal 100 in a congested section, the execution quality of the application is guaranteed. However, movement with a shorter movement time is possible.

  Further, when the search request unit 111 arrives at a specific time or a specific point, a search request for a movement route may be performed again at regular intervals or at regular intervals. As a result, position information at a different point or time is notified from the mobile terminal 100, so the server 4 can be more accurately notified of the starting speed of the mobile terminal 100, and the server 4 side can be notified on the planned movement route. The communication quality (network state) can be estimated with higher accuracy.

  Further, the search request unit 111 makes a search request for a plurality of travel routes with different communication qualities requested by the user within a predetermined time, and is obtained by the search request for the plurality of times via the display operation unit 112. The presence / absence of a moving route candidate and a congestion section for each moving route candidate may be identified and presented. For example, when it is possible to provide a wide range of operation settings for applications to be executed while the user is moving, the communication quality of the user request is set as a variable parameter for the presence or absence of a moving route candidate and a congestion section for each moving route candidate. It is possible to present the identification, to give the user a range of choice, and to appropriately cope with various user requests.

[Configuration of route extraction system]
Next, the configuration of the server 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The server 4 is installed as a centralized control device related to radio resource allocation in the route extraction system 1, that is, as an integrated radio resource manager (IRRM). The server 4 includes an integrated radio environment information database (IRED) 2 and a radio resource manager (RRM) 3.

  When the mobile terminal 100 reserves and registers a moving route candidate having a congested section with respect to the server 4, and the server 4 is requested to preferentially assign the radio resource to the mobile terminal 100, the radio resource The manager 3 changes the network state (radio resource allocation) in the congested section on the moving route candidate so as to satisfy the communication quality requested by the user.

  That is, the server 4 may further include a communication quality control unit (not shown) that changes the communication quality in the movement route designated by the mobile terminal 100 based on the request value received from the mobile terminal 100. In this case, the server 4 may be configured to transmit information indicating the communication quality changed by the communication quality control unit to the mobile terminal 100.

  Here, a description will be given using the examples of FIGS. 5 and 7 that are referred to in an embodiment described later. In the example of FIG. 5, all of the exemplified macro cells 312 to 374 are assigned to the server 4 (IRRM). A configuration in which a micro cell or a pico cell exists in each of the macro cells 312 to 374 may be used. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 7, a micro cell and a pico cell exist in the macro cell 343. Further, the server 4 (IRRM) can be connected to all the base stations BS_A, BS_B, and BS_C in the assigned area, and can transmit / receive data to / from the base stations BS_A, BS_B, and BS_C. In FIG. 7, as the mobile terminal 100 of the route extraction system 1, a mobile terminal (hereinafter referred to as a priority mobile terminal) MS_b for which a priority assignment request has been made and a mobile terminal MS_a other than the mobile terminal MS_a are shown separately. .

The integrated radio environment information database 2 (IRED) stores radio quality information representing radio quality for each RAN at a specific location.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a configuration example of the integrated wireless environment information database 2. In FIG. 3, the integrated wireless environment information database 2 includes map information (two-dimensional map or three-dimensional map), position information of base stations and mobile terminals, and wireless quality information indicating the wireless quality at a specific position of each RAN. Have The location information of the base station and the mobile terminal is associated with the map information. The integrated wireless environment information database 2 accumulates each information in time series (for example, together with time information).

  Here, the radio quality information of each RAN is associated with map information. In FIG. 3, RAN of LTE (Long Term Evolution) RAN is used as a macro cell as a type of RAN, WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, IEEE 802.16) RAN is used as a micro cell, and wireless as a pico cell. A configuration using a LAN (Local Area Network, IEEE802.11) or a small cell radio system RAN is illustrated. Other configurations may be used. For example, a macro cell uses a next generation cellular communication system, LTE-A (LTE Advanced), 5G LTE, WiMAX 2 or an existing 3G wireless system such as EvDO (Evolution Data Only) RAN, and a micro cell uses a femto cell. There are also configurations using a wireless LAN or PHS (Personal Handyphone System).

  In addition, information on reception intensity, throughput, delay, and resource capacity is stored as LTE radio quality information. Also, as WiMAX radio quality information, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) or CINR (Carrier to Interference and Noise power Ratio), throughput, delay, and resource capacity information are stored. Further, information on RSSI, throughput, delay, and resource capacity is stored as the wireless quality information of the wireless LAN and the small cell wireless system.

  The radio resource manager 3 selects a RAN suitable for the moving route candidate R # 01 reserved and registered by the priority mobile terminal MS_b based on the integrated radio environment information database 2, and the selected RAN communicates with other RANs as necessary. Radio resource allocation control is performed so that radio resources are allocated to the terminal in cooperation with each other. In the following description, the priority mobile terminal MS_b is distinguished from other mobile terminals MS_a, and the mobile terminal 100 includes both the priority mobile terminal MS_b and other mobile terminals MS_a. To do.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the radio resource manager 3 includes an expected stay time calculation unit 31, a radio resource state estimation unit 32, and a cooperative control unit 33. The expected stay time calculation unit 31 calculates the expected time that the priority mobile terminal MS_b stays in the same RAN cell. Moreover, the radio | wireless resource state estimation part 32 estimates the radio | wireless resource condition in this specific time for every RAN which has a cell containing the predicted position in the specific time of the mobile terminal 100. FIG.

  In particular, in the determination of the congested section when a route search request is made from the mobile terminal 100, each moving route candidate of the moving route candidate acquired from the service center 5 has a cell including an expected position at a specific time of the mobile terminal 100. The radio resource status at the specific time is estimated for each RAN.

  In particular, when giving priority to resource allocation to the priority mobile terminal MS_b, on the movement route of the movement route candidate R # 01 reserved and registered by the priority mobile terminal MS_b, the start point of the congestion interval and the congestion interval For each point that is a specific time or a specific distance before the start point, the radio resource status at the predicted passing time is estimated for each RAN corresponding to the cell including the point.

  In this radio resource status estimation, the radio resource status estimation unit 32 determines whether or not the radio resource requirement necessary for satisfying the communication quality required by the mobile terminal 100 in the target RAN can be allocated. To do. Further, the radio resource state estimation unit 32 determines whether or not the radio resource utilization rate of the target RAN is equal to or less than a specified value.

  That is, in the accommodation change of the other mobile terminal MS_a, the cooperative control unit 33 selects the priority in the RAN that has the longest expected stay time of the priority mobile terminal MS_b among the RANs corresponding to the cell including the start point of the congestion section. Estimated stay time of the priority mobile terminal MS_b for other mobile terminals MS_a other than the priority mobile terminal MS_b, so as to secure the required amount of radio resources required to satisfy the communication quality required by the mobile terminal MS_b Consider changing accommodation from the RAN with the largest RAN to another (for example, with a shorter estimated stay time).

  In addition, the cooperative control unit 33 accommodates a RAN whose radio resource utilization rate is equal to or less than a specified value among the RANs corresponding to the cell including the start point of the congested section from the RAN having the maximum expected stay time of the priority mobile terminal MS_b. As the replacement destination, the priority mobile terminal MS secures the radio resource requirement necessary for satisfying the communication quality required by the priority mobile terminal MS_b in the RAN where the expected stay time of the priority mobile terminal MS_b is the maximum. Consider changing accommodation for a terminal MS_a other than MS_b.

  As described above, since the network state (wireless resource state) on the moving route candidate accompanying the movement of the mobile terminal 100 is estimated based on the integrated wireless environment information database 2, the network state on the planned moving route is estimated. Can be performed with high accuracy. Moreover, the presence or absence of a congestion area can be determined based on the estimated network state and transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 to be provided to the user.

[Route search procedure]
Next, a movement route search method performed by the mobile terminal 100 and the server 4 or the route extraction system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a procedure for moving route search. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the moving route candidate obtained by the moving route search and the macro cell.

  In FIG. 4, in step S <b> 101, the user makes a travel route search request to the server 4 via the search request unit 111 of the mobile terminal 100. At this time, registration of the mobile terminal 100 to the server 4 is also performed at the same time, and the wireless state of the mobile terminal 100 is registered in the integrated wireless environment information database 2 of the server 4.

  Next, in step S301, the server 4 (wireless resource manager 3) makes a search request to the service center 5. In step S 501, a route search is performed by the service center 5, and a moving route candidate as a search result is transmitted to the server 4.

  Next, in step S302, the radio resource manager 3 refers to the integrated radio environment information database 2 and estimates a network state on the moving route candidate for each moving route candidate of the moving route candidate as the mobile terminal 100 moves. Then, it is determined whether there is a congested section that does not satisfy the communication quality requested by the user.

  Specifically, the radio resource state estimation unit 32 of the radio resource manager 3 determines, for each movement path candidate of the movement path candidate, for each RAN having a cell including an expected position or a specific position at a specific time of the mobile terminal 100. A radio resource situation at a specific time or a specific position is estimated. Here, the sampling interval at a specific time or a specific position may be arbitrary, but is preferably a value corresponding to at least a distance in the minor axis direction of the picocell.

  In this radio resource status estimation, the radio resource status estimation unit 32 determines whether or not the radio resource requirement necessary for satisfying the communication quality required by the mobile terminal 100 in the target RAN can be allocated. Yes. Further, it is determined whether or not the radio resource utilization rate of the target RAN is equal to or less than a specified value.

  As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the required amount of radio resources necessary for satisfying the required communication quality cannot be allocated, and the radio resource utilization rate of the target RAN is equal to or higher than a specified value, the specific time or the specific position is It is determined that the vehicle is in a busy section.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 5, the result of the route search by the service center 5 is the moving route candidates R # 01 to R # 04. Among them, the moving route candidate R # 01 is congested in the macro cell 343 (( xj, yj, zj) to (xk, yk, zk) point), and there is a congested section in the macro cell 322 for the movement route candidate R # 02.

  Next, in step S303, the server 4 (wireless resource manager 3) notifies the mobile terminal 100 of the moving route candidate and the presence / absence information of the congestion section for each moving route candidate. Next, in step S102, the travel route candidate received from the server 4 and the presence / absence information of the congestion section for each travel route candidate are presented to the user via the display operation unit 112. The user selects any travel route candidate. Will choose. In step S <b> 103, the travel route candidate selected by the user is transmitted to the server 4 via the notification unit 113 of the mobile terminal 100 and reserved and registered in the integrated wireless environment information database 2.

  As described above, in the route extraction system 1 of the present embodiment, the travel route to the destination is extracted based on the communication quality on the travel route. As a result, the route extraction system 1 can present a moving route that avoids the place when there is a place where the communication quality is deteriorated due to congestion of the wireless line on the moving route.

[Movement route search procedure (variation)]
Next, in the movement route search method performed by the mobile terminal 100 and the server 4 or the route extraction system 1 according to the present embodiment, with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. I will explain.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the procedure of the movement route search method. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between a moving route candidate and a macro cell reserved and registered by the mobile terminal.

  In this modification, the mobile terminal 100 is mounted on an ambulance vehicle, and when a patient is transported while performing the medical measures as described above, the medical measures are taken while receiving instructions from specialists at other points. Assuming a scene where Even in this case, the procedure from when a travel route search request is made to when the travel route candidate and the presence / absence information of the congestion section for each travel route candidate are presented to the display operation unit 112 is the above-described steps S101 to S102. Since this is the same, the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, in FIG. 6, in step S <b> 111, the mobile terminal 100 transmits the travel route candidate selected by the user (having a congested section) to the server 4 via the notification unit 113 and enters the integrated wireless environment information database 2. In addition to reservation registration, the mobile terminal 100 is requested to prioritize assignment of radio resources.

  The wireless resource priority allocation request forces other users to change RAN accommodation, and therefore should not be performed easily. Permission is required. In addition, at the priority allocation request stage, the server 4 performs personal authentication of the user or device authentication of the mobile terminal 100 to confirm that the request is from the user or mobile terminal 100 permitted in advance. After such authentication confirmation, the mobile terminal 100 is recognized as the priority mobile terminal MS_b.

  In FIG. 7, when the priority mobile terminal MS_b reaches the (xi, yi, zi) point on the movement path candidate R # 01, the priority mobile terminal MS_b determines the movement path candidate after T time, as determined from the movement speed. It reaches the point (xj, yj, zj) that is the start point of the congested section on R # 01. In this example, the point (xj, yj, zj) is located in the macro cell 343 and in the area where the communicable areas overlap with the micro cell and the pico cell. In the congested section, the network state is estimated by the radio resource manager 3 in advance (at the time of a route search request), and it is determined that the communication quality requested by the user is not satisfied, so that the communication quality requested by the priority mobile terminal MS_b is satisfied. In order to secure the required amount of radio resources necessary for the mobile terminal, consideration will be given to the replacement of the mobile terminal MS_a other than the priority mobile terminal MS_b with the RAN.

  First, in step S112, all mobile terminals MS_a and MS_b located in the RAN1 service area of the macro cell 343 including the current location (xi, yi, zi) of the priority mobile terminal MS_b Information such as the current location is registered in the integrated wireless environment information database 2.

  Next, in steps S211i, S221i, and S231i, each of the base stations RAN1, RAN2, and RAN3 that can be accessed at the current location (xi, yi, zi) of the priority mobile terminal MS_b, in response to a request from the radio resource manager 3, The wireless resource status (congestion information, location) is registered in the integrated wireless environment information database 2.

  Next, in steps S211j, S221j, and S231j, each base station of RAN 1, 2, and 3 that can be accessed at the predicted position (xj, yj, zj) of the priority mobile terminal MS_b at a specific time (after T time) The radio resource status (congestion information, location) is registered in the integrated radio environment information database 2 in response to a request from the manager 3.

Next, in step S312, the radio resource manager 3 determines the expected position (xj, yj, zj) calculates the movement distance within the cell of each base station that can be accessed. Then, the radio resource manager 3 calculates the estimated stay time in the cell of each base station of the priority mobile terminal MS_b based on the moving speed of the priority mobile terminal MS_b and the moving distance in the cell of each base station. Further, the radio resource manager 3 calculates a radio resource requirement for satisfying the requested QoS of the priority mobile terminal MS_b for each of RAN1, RAN2, and RAN3.
The estimated stay time is self-evident if the travel distance and travel speed in each cell are known, so if the travel speed is roughly the same, do not calculate the expected stay time, instead of calculating the expected stay time, You may make it compare.

  Next, in step S313, the radio resource manager 3 determines the radio resource status of the RAN1, RAN2, and RAN3 and the terminal accommodation status at the expected position (xj, yj, zj) of the priority mobile terminal MS_b at the specific time (after T time). Based on the above, a guideline for inter-RAN cooperation related to radio resource allocation is determined.

  Next, in step S314, the radio resource manager 3 requests each base station to perform inter-RAN coordination related to radio resource allocation. That is, since the optimal RAN (RAN1) for the priority mobile terminal MS_b is congested, the radio resource manager 3 requests that another mobile terminal MS_a accommodated in the RAN1 be accommodated in another RAN2 or 3. To do.

  Next, in steps S212, S222, and S232, each base station determines the radio resource status (congestion information and location) as a result of the inter-RAN coordination related to radio resource allocation in response to a request from the radio resource manager 3. Register in the integrated wireless environment information database 2.

  Further, in step S315, the radio resource manager 3 notifies the priority mobile terminal MS_b of the RAN (RAN1) that can be used at the start position (xj, yj, zj) of the congestion section.

  As described above, in this modification, the server 4 has a function of a communication quality control device that changes the communication quality in the designated movement route based on the received request value. Thereby, the route extraction system 1 can maintain (secure) the communication quality of the wireless channel on the moving route at the required quality.
