Abstract: A communication controller (communication control apparatus) acquires, from an MEC node (NW information collection unit), cell transition information for each vehicle that moves in a plurality of cells formed by a plurality of base stations connected to the MEC node. The communication controller determines a vehicle group that is made up of a plurality of vehicles and is to be subjected to uplink transmission control for path-dependent data based on the acquired cell transition information. The communication controller further performs, with respect to the determined vehicle group, transmission control for limiting uplink transmission of path-dependent data to a portion of vehicles that belong to the vehicle group.
