表装置(衛星通信用交換機)への迂回の指示をだす。This time, the processing of the autonomous management unit 65 will be described assuming that the radio base station 61 has detected radio wave congestion from the operation status table. First, the operation status of the mobile communication exchange 64 is detected by referring to the operation status table. It can be seen that the representative device operation status column A4 detected this time in the operation status table of FIG. 4 is normal (01).
Next, the autonomous management unit 65 refers to the operation status column in the recorded contents of the measure scenario in FIG. It can be seen that the scenario number at which the status of the representative device (switching unit for mobile communication) is normal and the dependent device (wireless base station) matches the radio wave congestion is 1. Therefore, the autonomous management unit 65 first instructs the measure of the measure pattern 1 of the scenario number 1. When the call to be treated is an up call, the network management line 70 is transmitted to the radio base station 61.
4, a detour instruction to another frequency band dependent device (base station for satellite communication) is issued. If the call to be taken is a down call, the call processing program in the mobile communication exchange 64 is instructed to detour to another representative device (satellite communication exchange).
