Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in telecommunications, networking, and data transmission industries to monitor and improve communication quality.

Problems Solved: The technology solves the problem of accurately assessing communication quality in real-time, allowing for proactive maintenance and troubleshooting.

Benefits: The benefits of this technology include improved communication reliability, reduced downtime, and enhanced user experience.

Potential Commercial Applications: "Enhancing Communication Quality in Optical Networks: Commercial Applications"

Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the apparatus handle variations in communication quality over time? 2. What are the limitations of this technology in terms of scalability and compatibility with different communication systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

A communication apparatus () capable of easily grasping a communication quality status is provided. The communication apparatus () includes: an acquisition unit () configured to acquire measured values of a predetermined number or more, the measured values being measured for communication quality information in an optical communication path; an estimation unit () configured to calculate an average value of the measured values thus acquired, generate a first cumulative distribution function of the communication quality information based on the measured values thus acquired, and estimate a second cumulative distribution function of the communication quality information based on measured values in a case where the measured values more than a number of the measured values thus acquired are acquired on a basis of the average value and the first cumulative distribution function; and a determination unit () configured to determine a value of the communication quality information as a reference quality value, a cumulative probability in the second cumulative distribution function becoming a predetermined value at the value of the communication quality information.
