WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, RELAY STATION, TERMINAL, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD

A wireless communication system includes a base station, a user equipment, and a relay station (400) that relays a wireless signal sent and received between the base station and the user equipment. The relay station includes a first processor (421) that executes reconnection processing with the base station, every time a plurality of time durations with respect to certain timing elapse, for a call corresponding to each time duration, and a transmitter (402) that, if a reconnection with the base station is not made until a predetermined time elapses after a start of the reconnection processing for the call corresponding to the each time duration, sends a message to the user equipment for notifying a call disconnection of the corresponding call in response to the lapse of the predetermined time. The user equipment includes a receiver that receives the message sent from the relay station, and a second processor that executes call disconnection processing on the corresponding call in response to the message being received.
