  • Publication number: 20220174506
    Abstract: In a relay device (20), a prediction unit (24) predicts an overall communication characteristic of a planned switching set selected by a communication control unit (23). A notification unit (25) notifies a control device (10) of a notification signal including a prediction communication characteristic predicted by the prediction unit (24). In the control device (10), a control unit (11) performs control for a device to be controlled (30) based on a “control parameter value.” A change unit (12) changes the control parameter value used by the control unit (11) based on the prediction communication characteristic notified from the relay device (20).
