<p>A relay apparatus for relaying a packet in radio communication by a wireless terminal (3a, 3b) in a communication area includes a packet monitoring part (12) for obtaining data on a bandwidth to be used in the radio communication by the wireless terminal (3a, 3b) from a packet to be relayed, a bandwidth managing part (14) for calculating and recording a total bandwidth in use used for the radio communication by the wireless terminal (3a, 3b) from the obtained data on a bandwidth, a retransmission adjusting part (15) for determining an upper limit of a packet retransmission number, in accordance with an amount of an available bandwidth obtained by excluding a total bandwidth in use from a maximum bandwidth, and a retransmitting part (16) for retransmitting a packet in a range not exceeding the upper limit of the packet retransmission number. Consequently, the relay apparatus enables retransmission appropriately adaptable to a use situation of a bandwidth by wireless communication of a wireless terminal in a communication area.</p> |
