Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A base station apparatus, configured to establish a wireless link for a backhaul line with a relay apparatus, and provide a first period in which a radio resource is used by the base station apparatus for the backhaul line, and a second period in which the radio resource is not used by the backhaul line.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 15 . (canceled) 16 . A first relay apparatus included in a wireless communication system that includes a control apparatus, the first relay apparatus and a second relay apparatus, the first relay apparatus comprising: one or more processors; and one or more memories that store a computer-readable instruction for causing, when executed by the one or more processors, the first relay apparatus to: perform communication relay in at least a part of a communication link used for communication conducted by the control apparatus, wherein the second relay apparatus performs communication relay in at least another part of the communication link, and wherein the first relay apparatus performs communication relay in at least a part of a first link, included in the communication link, between the control apparatus and the second relay apparatus; and transmit, to the second relay apparatus, information indicating that disconnection of a part of a second link, included in the communication link, between the control apparatus and the first relay apparatus is detected. 17 . The first relay apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the first relay apparatus transmits, to the control apparatus, the information via wireless communication line other than the communication link. 18 . The first relay apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the first relay apparatus receives, via wireless communication line other than the communication link, a signal instructing to reestablish a part of the communication link, of which the disconnection is detected. 19 . The first relay apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the second relay apparatus transmits, to another relay apparatus different from the first relay apparatus, the information received from the first relay apparatus. 20 . A communication method executed by a first relay apparatus included in a wireless communication system that includes a control apparatus, the first relay apparatus and a second relay apparatus, the communication method comprising: performing communication relay in at least a part of a communication link used for communication conducted by the control apparatus, wherein the second relay apparatus performs communication relay in at least another part of the communication link, and wherein the first relay apparatus performs communication relay in at least a part of a first link, included in the communication link, between the control apparatus and the second relay apparatus; and transmitting, to the second relay apparatus, information indicating that disconnection of a part of a second link, included in the communication link, between the control apparatus and the first relay apparatus is detected.
