Abstract

L'objectif de la présente invention est de fournir un système de communication sans fil et un procédé de commande du système de communication sans fil pour récupérer une liaison sans fil tôt lorsque survient une interruption ou une dégradation de qualité de communication sans fil entre une station de base et un terminal de communication sans fil. Selon la présente invention, dans un système de communication sans fil, une station de base ayant détectée une interruption ou une dégradation de qualité de communication sans fil transmet une demande de récupération de liaison sans fil à chacune des stations de base écrites dans une liste d'ordres de réglage d'antenne, avec des informations de réglage d'antenne pour la récupération de la même liaison sans fil incluse dans chacune des demandes de récupération de liaison sans fil transmises, et une unité d'émission/réception (10) de la station de base ayant transmis la demande de récupération de liaison sans fil et chacune des stations de base ayant reçu la demande de récupération de liaison sans fil transmet un signal d'apprentissage pour une récupération de liaison sans fil sur la base de la liste d'ordres de réglage d'antenne et d'informations de temps de jour à un moment où le signal d'apprentissage pour la récupération de liaison sans fil n'est pas transmis à la même fréquence simultanément à partir d'une pluralité de stations de base.
