Patent ID: 8582495

Claim:
A relay station capable of relaying radio communication between a radio communication terminal and a base station, the relay station comprising: a terminal communication unit which performs radio communication with the base station; a base station communication unit which performs radio communication with one or more radio communication terminals; and a data rearrangement unit which rearranges communication data included in a communication band allocated to the radio communication terminal in a communication band allocated to the base station, and rearranges communication data included in a communication band allocated to the base station in a communication band allocated to the radio communication terminal, wherein the data rearrangement unit tunnels identification information related to one of the radio communications terminals between the base station communications unit and the terminal communication unit, said identification information extracted from a radio communication between the one radio communications terminal and base station communication unit, and a transmission capacity of the communication band allocated to communication with the base station is not less than a sum of transmission capacities of communication bands allocated to communication with the one or more radio communication terminals.
