1. A wireless communication system comprising:
a plurality of bases stations configured to electrically communicate with one or more terminal stations;
a base station control device configured to control one or more settings, functions or a combination thereof for the plurality of base stations;
an intermediate processing device configured to perform processing between the plurality of base stations and a base station control device which controls each of the base stations, wherein the plurality of base stations are configured to connect to one or more terminal stations, and wherein the intermediate processing device comprising:
an information collection unit configured to collect wireless environment information which includes information regarding the terminal stations connected to the base stations and which indicates wireless environments around the base stations and the terminal stations, from each of the base stations;
a first conversion unit configured to convert the wireless environment information collected by the information collection unit into first information which is equally processed by the base station control device without distinction for each of the base stations;
a transmission unit configured to transmit the first information to the base station control device;
a reception unit configured to receive a parameter calculated by the base station control device based on the first information; wherein the intermediate processing device further comprises: a storage unit configured to temporarily store the first information so as to enable the base station control device to calculate a parameter based on the first information and temporarily store the second information so as to enable each of the base stations to perform setting based on the second information; and
a second conversion unit configured to convert the parameter received by the reception unit into individual second information in accordance with each of the base stations,
and wherein each of the base stations comprising: a reception unit configured to receive the second information;
and a setting unit configured to perform setting so as to perform communication with each of the terminal stations based on the second information.
