Abstract
A wireless communication system includes a plurality of base stations that are capable of switching to either a first communication method or a second communication method and that carry out wireless communication with terminals by the switched communication method and a control apparatus that manages the plurality of base stations. The control apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires information of throughput of each of the plurality of base stations and a switching instruction unit that instructs switching of the current communication method to each of the plurality of base stations when there is a base station in which throughput drops within a fixed interval among the plurality of base stations, and that further instructs re-switching to the communication method that preceded switching to base stations in which throughput dropped from before to after switching communication method among the plurality of base stations.
