  • Patent number: 10779279
    Abstract: [Problem] To estimate an open band in a wireless link precisely without imposing a communication load. [Solution] An open band in a wireless link is calculated from the bandwidth for a wireless link between a first wireless station and a second wireless station, a radio resource utilization rate, which is the ratio of the number of frequency blocks used for signal transmission with respect to the multiple frequency blocks constituting the bandwidth, and the radio quality of the wireless link.
