Original Abstract Submitted
A relay station includes a plurality of antennas and a controller. In non-regenerative relay of a first signal, the controller estimates an SINR of the first signal at a reception station after the relay on the basis of a transmit power of the first signal at a transmission station, first propagation characteristics between one or more first antennas set as reception antennas for the first signal and the transmission station, second propagation characteristics between one or more second antennas set as transmission antennas for the first signal after the relay and the reception station, a noise power and an interference power at the relay station, and a noise power at the reception station, and determines the first antennas and the second antennas in a combination that makes the SINR of the first signal at the reception station maximum respectively as the reception antennas and the transmission antennas.
