Abstract
Provided is a technique for efficiently using a channel bandwidth in a wireless communication system provided with a function for dividing a frequency channel into a plurality of segments and performing relay using the segments that differ from relay section to relay section. In a second scheme, an upstream direction of a first relay section is a DL section, and two segments are used. An upstream direction of a second relay section is a UL section, and two segments are used. That is, 2/3 of an area is used in a frequency-axis direction, and 1/2 of the area is used in a time-axis direction similarly to a first scheme. A data area ratio for the second scheme becomes 1/3. A data area ratio for the first scheme is 1/6. Thus, a throughput for the second scheme is twice a throughput for the first scheme.
