Millimeter Wave Connection Management via Preliminary Request Queuing

The system applies preliminary action by having terminals submit download request signals in advance before actually entering the communication area or before the download is needed. The connection management apparatus queues these requests and prepares connection authorization beforehand. When the terminal enters the area and needs to connect, the connection is already authorized and can be established immediately, thus reducing both connection restriction probability and waiting time.

The connection management apparatus acts as an intermediary between user terminals and the content delivery terminal. It receives download request signals from terminals, manages the queue of requests, and controls connection authorization. This intermediary role allows the system to smooth out the timing between when terminals want to connect and when connections are available, reducing both connection restrictions and waiting times by coordinating access without requiring terminals to wait passively.

The connection management apparatus serves as an intermediary that automatically handles connection authorization based on received download request signals. Terminals simply send their requests and the intermediary manages the complex coordination of connections, authentication, and timing. This keeps the terminal design simple while the intermediary handles the management overhead, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and system complexity.

User terminals autonomously send download request signals when they need content, without requiring manual connection management or complex terminal-side coordination. The terminals self-serve by initiating requests, and the system automatically processes these requests through the connection management apparatus. This self-service approach maintains ease of operation at the terminal level while the centralized management handles the complexity.
