Abstract: An edge server node comprises an edge server, a DNS, and a load controller. The DNS is assigned to a layer of edge server nodes where each layer of edge server nodes has a DNS anycast IP address for the DNSs of that layer and a FQDN for that layer. The DNS either handles or offloads requests to resolve the FQDN for the assigned layer to balance the load on the edge server. A request is offloaded by returning the FQDN for another layer. The load controller monitors the load on the edge server and directs the DNS to offload requests to reduce the load on the edge server.

Abstract: In a base station, a control unit and a data size regulation unit control the data size of downstream assignment control data and upstream assignment control data in the PDCCH signal based on the communication format used between the base station and a terminal, the number of base station antennas (M) (nonnegative number), the number of terminal antennas (N) (nonnegative number), the bandwidth of the downstream band, and the bandwidth of the upstream band. Specifically, the control unit determines it is unnecessary to adjust the aforementioned data size when the selected communication format is first established between multiple antennas and when where there are multiple for one of M and N and only one for the other. The quality of downstream assignment control data is prevented from degrading, while preventing the number of blind determinations from increasing on the receiving side of the downstream control channel signal.
