Abstract: The invention discloses a hybrid automatic repeat request method of a downlink tunnel connection in a multi-hop relay system. The base station transmits tunnel data, comprising of protocol data, to the access relay station via the tunnel link, and receives feedback until the access relay station receives the data correctly.
