Abstract
A base station apparatus includes a centralized station apparatus and a plurality of access points connected to the centralized station apparatus via optical fibers. Based on propagation delay times in the optical fibers, the centralized station apparatus performs grouping such that access points, among a plurality of access points, with a difference in propagation delay time within a threshold value, belong to the same group. The plurality of access points perform connection processing for each of the groups, to communicate with wireless terminals subordinate to the plurality of access points.
