  • Publication number: 20240022905
    Abstract: In a relay system, an authentication device determines whether a registered identifier of a registered terminal possessed by a user in a vehicle matches an identifier of a first communication terminal received from a relay base station via a base station, generates a permission signal indicating whether to permit relay of wireless communication between the first communication terminal and the base station, depending on the result of determination, and sends the generated permission signal to the relay base station via the base station. The relay base station relays wireless communication between the first communication terminal and the base station when the permission signal indicates that the relay of wireless communication is permitted. The relay base station omits to relay the wireless communication for the communication terminal when the permission signal indicates that the relay of wireless communication is not permitted.
