Abstract
A data communication apparatus for conducting relaying multi-address transmission comprises a detector for detecting the occurrence of a non-delivery status in which data is not transmitted to a relay station or a relay destination station, and a control unit for sending the data directly to the relay destination station without routing the relay station when the non-delivery status is detected by the detector.
