<p>A wireless communication device and method whereby, even in cases where relay stations (2b) that transmit control information to terminals (3a, 3b) and relay stations (2a) that do not transmit control information coexist in the same system, the terminals are prevented from interfering with one another's communications. A non-controlling relay station (2a) transmits only data, and not control information, to a terminal, and a controlling relay station (2b) transmits both data and control information to a terminal. The wireless communication device (1) includes a transmission interval setter (1a) for setting, in a downlink subframe of a frame for communicating by wireless with terminals, the non-controlling relay station and the controlling relay station, an interval for transmitting data from the controlling relay station (2b) to the terminal (3b) communicating therewith.</p> |
