Abstract
A relay apparatus, terminal apparatus and relay method for relaying signals with a reduced scale of the apparatus, without temporally switching between transmission and reception and with reduced waste of time when relay is performed at the same frequency on a radio communication network on which bidirectional communication is performed. A radio reception section 202 outputs information signals to a switch 208, outputs relay control signals to a demodulation section 204 after subjecting predetermined radio reception processing. The demodulation section 204 demodulates a relay control signal. A relay control signal processing section 206 decides the possibility of relay of information signals and inquires, when the relay is possible, whether the terminal apparatus on the receiving side can receive this information signal or not. Furthermore, the relay control signal processing section 206 connects a switch 208 during the stored relay time. The switch 208 is connected only the information signals to be relayed are received under the control of a relay control section 2063.
