Abstract
A method uses a relay station to assist processing of requests from user ends. The relay station acquires and monitors channel resource information received from a base station. Upon receiving a request from the UEs via the channel resource, the relay station sends the request received to the base station if it detects no response from the base station to the request. An apparatus uses a relay station to assist processing of requests from UEs. A channel resource acquisition unit acquires channel resource information from the base station. A user monitoring unit monitors the channel resource acquired by the channel resource acquisition unit and for receiving requests sent from the UEs. A base station monitoring unit monitors response from the base station to the requests upon receiving the requests sent from the UEs. A transmitting unit sends the request to the base station when no response from the base station to the request is detected.
