Abstract: If a propagation delay equal to or greater than a threshold value is detected in the uplink of a time-division duplex between a first wireless communication terminal and a first wireless base station, a suppression unit 52 performs control pertaining to resources in the time-division duplex of a first wireless communication terminal. Thereby, communication errors that occur in a second wireless communication terminal wirelessly connected to the second wireless base station that is different from the first wireless base station, to which the first wireless communication terminal is wirelessly connected, is suppressed by uplink communication performed by the first wireless communication terminal in accordance with the propagation delay. For example, this suppression process is a process pertaining to the assignment of resources a time-division duplex with respect to the first wireless communication terminal.
