1. A network controller, comprising one or more processors and memories,
wherein
the one or more processors execute a process comprising:
acquiring user terminal traffic information;
predicting, based on the user terminal traffic information, future traffic demand and generating traffic demand prediction information;
acquiring one or more route candidates from a starting point to a goal point;
determining, based on the traffic demand prediction information, a navigation route from the one or more route candidates;
acquiring operating state information regarding a base station, the operating state information comprising information indicating whether the base station is in an on state or an off state; and
generating, based on the operating state information regarding each base station corresponding to each area through which the determined navigation route passes, a request for activating each base station in an off state corresponding to each area through which the determined navigation route passes.
