Abstract
A relay apparatus, terminal apparatus and relay method for relaying signals with a reduced scale of the apparatus, without temporally switching between transmission and reception and with reduced waste of time when relay is performed at the same frequency on a radio communication network on which bidirectional communication is performed. A radio reception sectionoutputs information signals to a switch, outputs relay control signals to a demodulation sectionafter subjecting predetermined radio reception processing. The demodulation sectiondemodulates a relay control signal. A relay control signal processing sectiondecides the possibility of relay of information signals and inquires, when the relay is possible, whether the terminal apparatus on the receiving side can receive this information signal or not. Furthermore, the relay control signal processing sectionconnects a switchduring the stored relay time. The switchis connected only the information signals to be relayed are received under the control of a relay control section
