Abstract
A relay apparatus includes: a priority table for storing a higher priority transmission identifier and transmission condition data; a bandwidth management part for determining whether or not a received transmission identifier should be recorded in the priority table as a higher priority transmission identifier; a priority control part for relaying the transmission identified by the higher priority transmission identifier by priority; a monitoring part for monitoring a transmission condition of the wireless terminals and storing a value indicating a degree of degradation of the transmission condition as transmission condition data in the priority table; and a lower priority transmission identifying part for selecting a transmission with a higher degree of degradation of a transmission condition as a lower priority transmission in the case where a total bandwidth in use for transmissions indicated by the higher priority transmission identifiers exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The priority control part relays the transmissions other than the lower priority transmission, by priority compared with the lower priority transmission.
