Abstract
A communication control method according to an embodiment is a method in a mobile communication system in which a data transfer path via at least one of relay apparatuses is configured between a donor base station and a user equipment. In the communication method, a relay apparatus is configured to activate a timer when establishment of a radio connection with an upper apparatus or activation of a relay function of the relay apparatus is rejected by the upper apparatus, or when the radio connection is released by the upper apparatus. The upper apparatus is another relay apparatus under the donor base station or the donor base station. The timer is configured to define time during which establishment of a radio connection with the upper apparatus or notification indicating an intention of activating the relay function to the upper apparatus needs to be avoided.
