Abstract

A relay broadcast instructing station transmits to a relay broadcast distributing station final distribution recipient's SID, SUB, TSI, and DCS information as well as facsimile data. The relay station then transmits the facsimile data to the recipients. The relay station also sends back to the instructing station a report indicating the delivery status of the facsimile data. The facsimile numbers of the recipients and the facsimile number of the instructing station are pre-stored in a memory of the relay station, and used for the distribution of the facsimile data to the recipients and for the transmission of the distribution report back to the instructing station.
