Abstract
A method includes collecting, as environment information, a radio environment represented by a signal received at a plurality of radio communication units from another base station, each of the plurality of radio communication units being switchable between a normal mode in which the radio communication unit performs radio communication as a base station and a subordinate mode in which the radio communication unit performs radio communication as a virtual terminal station, calculating test conduct information for each base station based on base station performance information representing a performance of each base station and the environment information, and conducting an operation test of each base station by, based on the test conduct information, setting any of the radio communication units to the normal mode, switching the radio communication units of the other base station to the subordinate mode, and performing radio communication with each other.
