Abstract: In order to more quickly detect a failure in a radio base station and complement the coverage thereof, a first base station included in a communication system forms a first cell to conduct radio communication with one or more mobile stations. A second base station, which is placed adjacent to the first base station, forms a second cell to conduct radio communication with one or more mobile stations. The first base station conducts communication with the second base station to monitor whether or not a failure occurs in the second base station. When it is detected as a result of the monitoring that the failure occurs in the second base station, the first base station expands coverage of the first cell so as to complement that of the second cell.
