Abstract

It is possible to provide a radio communication base station device, a radio communication relay station device, a radio communication terminal device, a radio communication system, and a radio communication method which can minimize a delay and effectively use resources. When a terminal starts an uplink communication with a base station via a repeater, [ST403] a base station transmits to a repeater, Grant 1 for the base station to allocate an initial transmission resource to the terminal and Multi-direction Grant which can be applied either to retransmission from the terminal to the repeater or the relay from the repeater to the base station, and [ST404] the Grant 1 and the Multi-direction Grant are relayed to the terminal.

Claims

1-6. -6. (canceled)

7. A radio communication base station apparatus comprising:

a resource allocating section that generates an uplink channel allocation signal for a radio communication terminal apparatus and an uplink resource allocation signal that can be used for retransmission from the radio communication terminal apparatus to a radio communication relay station apparatus and also used for relay from the radio communication relay station apparatus to a radio communication base station apparatus; and

a transmitting section that transmits the generated uplink channel allocation signal and uplink resource allocation signal.

8. A radio communication relay station apparatus comprising:

a receiving section that receives an uplink channel allocation signal for a radio communication terminal apparatus and an uplink resource allocation signal that can be used for retransmission from the radio communication terminal apparatus to a subject radio communication relay station apparatus and also used for relay from the subject radio communication relay station apparatus to a radio communication base station apparatus;

a first relay section that relays the received uplink channel allocation signal and uplink resource allocation signal to the radio communication terminal apparatus;

an error detecting section that detects whether or not a signal received from the radio communication terminal apparatus has an error; and

a second relay section that, when the error detecting section detects no error, relays the signal received from the radio communication terminal apparatus to the radio communication base station apparatus based on the uplink resource allocation signal.

9. The radio communication relay station apparatus according to claim 8, wherein, when the error detecting section detects that the signal has an error, the first relay section relays the uplink resource allocation signal to the radio communication terminal apparatus.

10. A radio communication terminal apparatus comprising:

a receiving section that receives an uplink channel allocation signal for a subject radio communication terminal apparatus and an uplink resource allocation signal that can be used for retransmission from the subject radio communication terminal apparatus to a radio communication relay station apparatus and also used for relay from the radio communication relay station apparatus to a radio communication base station apparatus; and

a transmitting section that transmits a first transmission data based on the uplink channel allocation signal and transmits retransmission data based on the uplink resource allocation signal.

11. A radio communication method comprising:

when a signal transmitted from a radio communication terminal apparatus does not have an error, relaying the signal from a radio communication relay station apparatus to a radio communication base station apparatus based on an uplink resource allocation signal that can be used for retransmission from the radio communication terminal apparatus to the radio communication relay station apparatus and also used for relay from the radio communication relay station apparatus to the radio communication base station apparatus; and

when the signal transmitted from the radio communication terminal apparatus has the error, retransmitting the signal from the radio communication terminal apparatus based on the uplink resource allocation signal.

12. A radio communication method comprising:

generating, by a radio communication base station apparatus, an uplink channel allocation signal for a radio communication terminal apparatus and an uplink resource allocation signal that can be used for retransmission from the radio communication terminal apparatus to a radio communication relay station apparatus and also used for relay from the radio communication relay station apparatus to the radio communication base station apparatus; and

transmitting the generated uplink channel allocation signal and uplink resource allocation signal from the radio communication base station apparatus.

13. A radio communication method comprising:

receiving, by a radio communication terminal apparatus, an uplink channel allocation signal for the radio communication terminal apparatus and an uplink resource allocation signal that can be used for retransmission from the radio communication terminal apparatus to a radio communication relay station apparatus and also used for relay from the radio communication relay station apparatus to a radio communication base station apparatus; and

transmitting, by the radio communication terminal apparatus, a first transmission data based on the uplink channel allocation signal and transmitting retransmission data based on the uplink resource allocation signal.
