Abstract
In order to identify a wireless device that is not under management in a wireless communication network, a management apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information from the wireless terminal; a storage unit configured to correlate and store the wireless base station detected by the wireless terminal and a wireless terminal wirelessly connected to this wireless base station; a deriving unit configured to derive a wireless base station which does not have a wireless connection with a wireless terminal; a requesting unit configured to request a wireless terminal for transmission of data that has passed through this wireless base station; and a determination unit which, if requested data that has passed through the wireless base station from the wireless terminal has not been received, is configured to determine that this wireless base station is a wireless base station that is not under management.
