Abstract
A base station performs wireless communication with a first apparatus, and performs wired communication with a second apparatus. When a first communication speed corresponding to a wireless quality of the wireless communication is higher than a second communication speed of the wired communication, the base station changes a currently set modulation and coding scheme to a modulation and coding scheme corresponding to the second communication speed.
