Abstract: To detect and recover from failure occurring in a core network. A subscriber information holding unit holds subscriber information indicating association between a terminal and a user plane function in a communication system. A failure detection unit detects a failure related to the user plane function. A control unit changes the subscriber information held in the subscriber information holding unit so as to associate a new user plane function with the terminal associated with the user plane function in which the failure is detected by the failure detection unit.

Abstract: To flexibly control the number of user planes in a communication system. In the communication system, a base station located on a local area network is connected to at least one user plane function located on a cloud. Whether or not to add a new user plane function is determined in consideration of an amount of traffic of user data and an assumed amount of traffic of the new user plane function out of a maximum amount of traffic on the local area network, the user data being transferred by the at least one user plane function by use of the local area network.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a network control device to flexibly control, at low cost, allocation of a user plane to a terminal in order to secure throughput according to the number of terminals in a network. The network control device includes a setting information holding unit and a control unit. The setting information holding unit holds, for each terminal, setting information including setting of a correspondence relationship with a user plane of a network. The control unit controls, after the setting of a correspondence relationship between a terminal and a user plane is changed, the network with the setting reflected under a predetermined condition.

Abstract: A terminal search unit searches for a predetermined transmitter terminal. A determination unit determines whether to participate in relay transfer involved in data transmission from the predetermined transmitter terminal found by the terminal search unit to a predetermined receiver terminal, using information possessed by the terminal device. A notification unit notifies the predetermined transmitter terminal of participation when the determination unit determines that the terminal device participates. It is possible to satisfactorily participate in relay transfer involved in data transmission from the predetermined transmitter terminal.

Abstract: Efficient data transfer over a public network is achieved. A terminal searching unit searches for a neighboring terminal device. A display unit displays a list of terminal devices discovered by the terminal searching unit. A terminal selecting unit selects a predetermined terminal device included in the list based on the list displayed on the display unit. A data transmission unit transmits data using the predetermined terminal device selected by the terminal selecting unit as a relay. The list of neighboring terminal devices discovered by the search is displayed and a predetermined terminal device is selected using the list and is used for relay transfer, which allows the user to easily select a predetermined terminal device to be used for the relay transfer.
