RELAY DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

Even when an amplifier has a comparatively narrow linear region in a terminal, it is possible to suppress degradation of the transmission characteristic by using single-carrier transmission between the terminal and a relay device while using multi-carrier transmission between the relay device and a base station on an uplink of a communication system. The relay station (1) includes: a single-carrier signal receiving portion (12) which receives a single-carrier signal from the terminal and performs signal processing; a converting portion (13) which converts a time region symbol output from the single-carrier signal receiving portion (12) into a frequency domain symbol; and a multi-carrier signal transmitting portion (14) which makes the symbol converted by the converting portion (13) to be a multi-carrier signal and transmits the multi-carrier signal to the base station.
