Abstract:
1. A communication terminal that requests a base station to transmit downlink communication information based on a transmission speed of the communication terminal while the communication terminal and a remote station wirelessly communicate with each other, the communication terminal comprising: a processor; a communication device for performing wireless communication with the base station; a transmission speed computing device for computing a transmission speed in the wireless communication with the base station according to a reception state in the wireless communication with the base station; a second communication device for performing wireless communication with the remote station; a transmission speed comparing device for acquiring information on a transmission speed in wireless communication between the remote station and the base station by means of the second communication device and comparing the transmission speed of the remote station obtained thereby and the transmission speed of the communication terminal computed in the transmission speed computing device; and a relay requesting device for requesting the remote station to provide the base station with a transmission request for transmitting information addressed to the communication terminal from the base station to the remote station, by means of the second communication device, if the transmission speed of the remote station is higher than that of the communication terminal as a result of the comparison by the transmission speed comparing device, wherein the information addressed to the communication terminal transmitted from the base station to the remote station is obtained by the second communication device if the relay requesting device has made the request.
