Abstract
An apparatus and a method for selecting one of a plurality of relay modes in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes checking a channel state between a Mobile Station (MS) and each of at least one Relay Station (RS), selecting the relay mode for supporting a relay service using the determined channel state between the MA and each of the at least one RS, and providing the relay service to the MS using the selected relay mode. Thus, system throughput and outage performance can be enhanced by using the appropriate relay mode based on the MS distribution or the channel condition.
