Wireless relay system, remote unit of wireless relay system, and restoration method of wireless relay system

Abstract

A wireless relay system includes a master unit and remote units. The remote units are connected to a communication path downstream of the master unit. Each remote unit includes a switching unit, a communication unit, a determiner, and a switching controller. The switching unit switches a normal connection in which the master unit or an upstream remote unit is connected to a downstream remote unit and a bypass connection in which they are connected with the communication unit not interposed therebetween. The communication unit processes a signal to be transmitted/received for communication. The determiner determines whether the communication unit is normal or abnormal. The switching controller switches the switching unit to the bypass connection when the communication unit is abnormal. After switching to the normal connection, the deter liner determines whether the communication unit is normal or abnormal after restarting the communication unit.
