Wireless communication system, relay apparatus, wireless communication method and program

Abstract

A relay apparatus includes a receiver, a received waveform recorder, a number-of-antennas determiner, and a transmitter. The receiver receives wireless first signals transmitted from the first communication apparatus through a plurality of receiving antennas. The received waveform recorder generates waveform data of the first signals received by the respective plurality of receiving antennas. The number-of-antennas determiner determines the number of receiving antennas according to a relay apparatus position on the basis of information regarding communication quality between the first communication apparatus and the relay apparatus at the relay apparatus position. The transmitter transmits second signals indicating the waveform data of the first signals received by the respective receiving antennas of the number of receiving antennas determined by the number-of-antennas determiner according to the relay apparatus position. A second communication apparatus performs reception processing of the second signals received from the relay apparatus to acquire the waveform data and performs reception processing of the first signals indicated by the acquired waveform data to acquire data.
