    摘要: An in-flight entertainment system including wireless access points (WAPs) spaced apart within an aircraft and connected to antennas, proximity sensors adjacent to the antennas, and a controller. The controller controls transmissions from WAPs of traffic in communication sessions. The controller performs operations that include receiving a proximity alert signal from a first proximity sensor indicating that a passenger is proximately located to a first antenna used by a first WAP for transmission of a communication session, and identifying a remedial action responsive to evaluating a rule based on the proximity alert signal and characteristics of the communication session. The operations include performing the remedial action as one of: 1) initiating handover of the communication session from the first WAP to a second WAP; and 2) initiating a change in transmission mode that will be used by the first WAP for continued transmission of the communication session.

    摘要: A communication system including a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus is provided. The first communication apparatus includes a communication portion. The second communication apparatus includes a communication portion. The first communication apparatus includes a first transmission portion. The first transmission portion transmits a first signal to another communication apparatus. The first signal at least includes information enabling to specify the first communication apparatus. The second communication apparatus includes a second transmission portion. The second transmission portion transmits a second signal to the first communication apparatus. The first communication apparatus includes a malfunction determination portion. The malfunction determination portion determines whether the communication portion of the first communication apparatus is out of order. The communication system includes a congestion determination portion. At least one of the first signal and the second signal is transmitted.
