Radio relay apparatus, and temperature control method for the same

Abstract

In a base station, in cases where a repeater device capable of performing radio communication with a communication terminal is in a control channel state to control entire communication, a site controller determines whether an internal temperature of the repeater device is equal to or higher than a preset first temperature threshold, and when the internal temperature of the repeater device is equal to or higher than the first temperature threshold, the site controller brings the repeater device from the control channel state to an unavailable state, after bringing another repeater device that is in an idle state where nothing is processed, to the control channel state. Thereafter, when the internal temperature of the repeater device becomes equal to or lower than a preset second temperature threshold and when a predetermined time is elapsed, the site controller brings the repeater device from the unavailable state to the idle state.
