Abstract
An apparatus and method for transmitting relay station (RS) type information in a multi-hop relay cellular communication system are provided. In the RS type information providing method, an RS transmits a message including information about RS'"'"'s type to an MS. The MS acquires the RS type information from the message and performs an initial connection procedure with the RS based on the RS type information.
