This communication device relays a relay signal to be transmitted to and from a first communication device and a second communication device, and is connected to a first apparatus. The communication device transmits the relay signal using a first transmission slot, and also transmits, using a second transmission slot, a signal having been transmitted from the first apparatus, said signal being transmitted within the transmission period of the first transmission slot in a frequency domain different from that of the first transmission slot.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support resource utilization based event triggering. A wireless node in a wireless communications system may establish a connection with a core network via a path that includes one or more relay nodes. The wireless node may determine that a network load associated with one or more paths between the wireless node and the core network has changed, or that a difference between two or more network loads of different paths has changed. Based on such a determination, the wireless node may transmit a report to the network. In some cases, the network may receive the report from the wireless node, and may initiate a path change based on the report.

Provided is a management server including a receiving unit that receives from each base station information about a communication terminal belonging to the base station and about a relay device that relays communication between the base station and the communication terminal, a determination unit that determines, on the basis of the information received from each base station by the receiving unit, whether or not interference is to be generated between communications controlled by different base stations, and a base station management unit that instructs at least one of the base stations that control the communication, for which the determination unit has determined that interference is to be generated, to execute an interference avoidance control.
