Abstract
Upon reception of ACK via a communication IF, an allocator allocates a channel of a repeater to be controlled to communications between wireless terminals. A determination unit determines whether channels allocatable to the communications between the wireless terminals are short. When the determination unit has determined that the allocatable channels are short, a switching controller controls at least one repeater, among repeaters to be controlled by a repeater controller, that serves as a controlling repeater to cause the repeater to transmit, to a wireless terminal standing by in the channel of the repeater, a switching signal designating standby in a channel of a repeater that is controlled by another repeater controller.
