Abstract

A relay transmission method for communication between a base station and a mobile station via a relay station while producing a diversity effect even if the relay station detects an error in the relay signal. A decoding section (104) of the relay station used in this method performs error-correction decoding of a systematic bit by using a parity bit by repetition decoding such as turbo decoding and acquires the results of the decoding composed of the systematic bit having undergone the error-correction decoding. An error judging section (105) judges whether or not any error is present in the decoding results. Coding section (106) performs error-correction coding of the decoding results and acquires the error-correction coded systematic bit and parity bit. A selecting section (107) selects either the decoding results inputted from the decoding section (104) or a bit sequence inputted from the coding section (106) according to the result of the judgment by the error judging section (105) and outputs the selected one to a modulating section (108). A transmission control section (112) controls the operation of a radio transmitting section (109) according to the SNR of the received data symbol and the result of the judgment by the error judging section (105).
