A relay station for relaying a radio communication between a radio terminal and a base station includes a relay standby unit configured to, in a relay standby state, receive a connection request transmitted from the radio terminal to the base station in response to broadcast information from the base station; a connection request detector configured to, in a relay standby state, detect the connection request transmitted from the radio terminal to the base station; and a relay operation unit configured to relay a radio communication between the radio terminal and the base station when the relay station shifts from the relay standby state to a relay operation state in response to the connection request detected by the connection request detector in the relay standby state. |
