    Abstract: In a drone-type radio relay apparatus, it is provided of an antenna system capable of suppressing an inclination of an antenna due to a strong wind during a stationary flight (hovering). The antenna system is provided with a long-shaped antenna 110 connected to a relay station via a cable, and an antenna guide mechanism that is fixed to a body of a drone and guides the antenna so as to be movable in an up-down direction of a basic attitude of the drone.

    Abstract: It is provided of a system capable of estimating a current position of a terminal apparatus, even if a terminal apparatus for mobile communication is in a condition of non-receiving or inability to receive GNSS signals. A radio relay apparatus, in which a relay station mounted on a drone, transmits radio waves from a directional antenna toward the ground while flying in an upper airspace above a target area on the ground, and transmits position information on its own apparatus obtained based on the GNSS signal, to an information processing apparatus. The terminal apparatus measures a reception power or a reception quality of radio waves transmitted from the radio relay apparatus, and transmits reception measurement information regarding the measurement result of the reception power or the reception quality, to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus estimates the position of the terminal apparatus in the target area, based on the position information from the radio relay apparatus received in a flight time period during which the radio relay apparatus flies in the upper airspace above the target area and the reception measurement information from the terminal apparatus. The information processing apparatus may estimate the position where the reception power or the reception quality from the terminal apparatus is maximum, as the position of the terminal apparatus.

    Abstract: A high-altitude platform (HAP) node provides communication service during an emergency. The HAP node uses a first network to provide communication services for handling calls initiated by at least one user equipment (UE). The HAP node detects that an emergency disruption has occurred that prevents the use of the first network. In response to detecting the occurrence of the emergency disruption, a mobile terminal (MT) in the HAP node searches for a second network able to accept emergency calls. The HAP node determines whether the second network will handle all calls initiated by the at least one UE or only emergency calls generated by the at least one UE. The HAP node handles the calls based on the determining and through the use of the second network.
