1. A processing device, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
acquire information regarding a flight of a flyable flight device, the information regarding the flight of the flyable flight device including at least an altitude of the flyable flight device;
control a measurement report process on a reference signal transmitted from a base station device on a basis of the information regarding the flight acquired by the circuitry; and
report measurement information to the base station device based on a comparison result of the altitude of the flyable flight device and a threshold,
wherein
the reference signal is beam-formed to target the flyable flight device and to follow movement of the flyable flight devices,
the information regarding the flight of the flyable flight device further includes at least a highest altitude and a lowest altitude that the flyable flight device is configured to fly, remaining power in a battery of the flyable flight device, and a remaining flight time of the flyable flight device based on the remaining power in the battery of the flyable flight device,
when the comparison result satisfies a predetermined condition, the measurement report process is performed, and
when the comparison result does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the measurement report process is not performed.
