Abstract
Provided is a control device that controls flight vehicles having an antenna for forming a cell on the ground to provide a wireless communication service to a user terminal in the cell. The control device includes a replacement control unit that controls replacement of a first flight vehicle covering an object area on the ground by means of a cell with a second flight vehicle. The replacement control unit controls the first flight vehicle and the second flight vehicle such that the second flight vehicle moves to a location corresponding to the location of the first flight vehicle, the second flight vehicle and the first flight vehicle start providing a wireless communication service to a user terminal by Coordinated Multiple Point transmission/reception (CoMP), and then the first flight vehicle stops forming its cell.
