  • Publication number: 20240147511
    Abstract: In a communication system that a relay station non-regeneratively relays a signal from a transmitting station to a first receiving station, when the relay station performs non-regenerative relay using a first resource block that is assigned to the relay station and the first receiving station for the non-regenerative relay and a second resource block that uses a baseband signal obtained by inverting the frequencies of a baseband signal relating to the first resource block, an information processing apparatus determines, based on information indicating a reception signal strength of a signal received by the relay station from a second receiving station other than the first receiving station, whether or not interference with the second receiving station is allowable, and assigns the second resource block to the relay station and the first receiving station as an additional resource block for the non-regenerative relay when the determining that the interference is allowable.
