Access point apparatus, radio communication system and connection method

摘要

An access point apparatus includes a first communication unit sending a radio terminal a beacon representing the availability of an access point apparatus, and receiving a connection request signal from the radio terminal in response to the beacon; a second communication unit communicating with a control unit which controls a load state of the access point apparatus via the first communication unit; a memory storing connection control information received from the control unit via the second communication unit, the connection control information depending upon the load state of the access point apparatus; and a connection control unit controlling the operation of the first communication unit on the basis of the connection control information.
