COMMUNICATION RELAY SYSTEMS AND WIRELESS EQUIPMENT

Abstract

The invention relates to a communication relay system comprising a master unit capable of transmitting / receiving signals to / from the base station of a mobile communication system, and multiple remote units transmitting / receiving signals to / from the master unit and performing radio communication with the mobile station of the mobile communication system. The master unit comprises a detector, an identifyr, and an assignor. The detector detects that the mobile station is located where short-range communication with multiple remote units can take place. The identifyr determines which of the multiple remote units to which the communication resources for performing radio communication with the mobile station located where radio communication can take place are allocated. The assignor allocates communication resources to the remote unit according to the determination of the identifyr.
