    摘要: Provided is a communication device that operates as a management node in a first zone being a management domain on a network, the communication device including a communication unit that executes communication with another node and a control unit that controls communication executed by the communication unit. The control unit operates such that, when having received, from a user, a request regarding an application that chains one or more application functions (AFs) to act on a packet flowing in the network, the control unit acquires information regarding the application from a second zone being a management domain other than the first zone, and then calculates a deployment destination of the AFs in the network including the first zone and the second zone based on the information.

    摘要: A communication device (200) includes a determination unit (241) and a selection unit (242). The determination unit (241) determines a plurality of time offset values for determining a combination of a receiving antenna panel and a receiving beam for user data scheduled by control information transmitted from a base station (100). The selection unit (242) selects a time offset value for determining the combination of the receiving antenna panel and the receiving beam for the user data from among the plurality of time offset values based on the control information received from the base station (100).

    摘要: A terminal device (200) includes a plurality of antenna panels, a reception unit (210), a selection unit (241), and a setting unit (244). The reception unit (210) receives one or more reference signals from a base station (100) via the plurality of antenna panels. The selection unit (241) selects one or more receiving beams from among the received one or more reference signals. The setting unit (244) sets a combination of a receiving antenna panel and the receiving beam to be used by the terminal device (200) when receiving one or more pieces of control information transmitted from the base station (100), based on a combination of the receiving antenna panel and the receiving beam used at the reception of the one or more reference signals.
