RADIO COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND RELAY TRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

Provided is a relay transmission method capable of obtaining the diversity effect even when a relay station has detected an error in a relay signal when performing communication between a base station and a mobile station via a relay station. In the relay station used in this method, a decoding unit (104) performs error-correction-decoding of a systematic bit by performing repeated decoding such as a turbo decoding by using a parity bit and obtains a decoding result formed by a systematic bit after the error-correction-decoding. An error judging unit (105) judges whether the decoded result has an error by using CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check). An encoding unit (106) performs error-correction-encoding of the decoded result and obtains a systematic bit after error-corrected-encoded and a parity bit. A selection unit (107) selects the decoded result inputted from the decoding unit (104) or the bit string inputted from the encoding unit (106) according to the judgment result obtained by the error judging unit (105) and outputs it to a modulation unit (108).
