Abstract: A management server predicts future locations of a plurality of maritime vessels based on historical status information of the plurality of maritime vessels. The plurality of maritime vessels include a first maritime vessel and a second maritime vessel. The first maritime vessel is communicatively connected to a terrestrial network via the second maritime vessel. The management server determines whether a disconnection between the first and second maritime vessels is to occur, based on the predicted future locations of the first and second maritime vessels. In response to determining that the disconnection is to occur, the management server obtains, from the first maritime vessel, security related information of the first maritime vessel before the disconnection occurs. When the first maritime vessel reconnects to the terrestrial network, the management server performs a first authorization process for the first maritime vessel based on the obtained security related information of the first maritime vessel.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for maritime communication. According to an embodiment, a network comprises a first server and a first base station at a first maritime vessel, and one or more second servers and one or more second base stations at one or more respective second maritime vessels. In response to a trigger event indicating that interference between at least two base stations of the first base station and the one or more second base stations is serious, the first server obtains a contribution value of the first base station to the network determined by the second server. The first server determines whether the first base station needs power reduction or power off based at least on the obtained contribution value. When determining that the first base station needs power reduction or power off, the first server sends an instruction for power reduction or power off to the first base station.
