Abstract

A base station control apparatus for controlling a radio base station which carries out radio communications with a mobile communication terminal is characterized in that it includes a control unit for performing a control process of making the radio base station selectively perform either of two or more processes with different throughputs according to the scale of the radio base station. With this structure, the radio base station can have only a function based on to the scale thereof. For this reason, by omitting unnecessary functions, the radio base station can be miniaturized and the manufacturing cost of the radio base station can be reduced.
