A radio transmission method for carrying out radio transmission in a radio transmission network formed of plural communication stations by control of a communication station set up as a central control station, wherein one station of the plural communication stations determines whether it is capable of relaying a signal sent from another station according to a condition of a power supply or the presence/absence of portability and, if it is determined that the relay transmission is possible, the one station sets up itself in a condition capable of relay transmission.

1. A radio transmission method for carrying out radio transmission in a radio transmission network comprised of plural communication stations comprising the steps of:causing at least one station of said plural communication stations to determine a power supply condition of itself,causing said at least one station to determine whether the determined power supply condition represents an appropriate supply voltage and whether said at least one station is capable of relaying a signal sent from an other station according to the determined power supply condition, andwhen it is determined that the relay transmission is possible, causing said at least one station to set up itself in a condition capable of relay transmission, andsending data on whether relay transmission is possible to another communication station of the plural communication stations by including as part of a transmission frame a station synchronous transmission/reception section having power supply information and move possibility information. 2. A radio transmission method for carrying out radio transmission in a radio transmission network comprised of plural communication stations comprising the steps of:causing at least one station of said plural communication stations to determine a presence/absence of portability of itself and whether the at least one station is a mobile unit,causing said least one station to determine based on the determined presence/absence of portability whether it is capable of relaying a signal sent from other station according to the determined presence/absence of portability condition, andwhen it is determined that the relay transmission is possible, causing said at least one station to set up itself in a condition capable of relay transmission, andsending data on whether relay transmission is possible to another communication station of the plural communication stations by including as part of a transmission frame a station synchronous transmission/reception section having power supply information and move possibility information. 3. The radio transmission method according to claim 2 wherein determination of the presence/absence of portability of a station is carried out according to the further step of determining whether an electronic appliance connected to the station can be carried by a user. 4. The radio transmission method according to claim 2 wherein determination of the presence/absence of portability is carried out according to the further step of detecting a change in radio communication condition with another communication station in the radio transmission network. 5. The radio transmission method according to claim 2 comprising the further step of sending data on whether relay transmission is possible to one of the central control station and another communication station. 6. A radio transmission apparatus for carrying out radio communication with another communication station in a radio network, the apparatus comprising:communication processing means for transmitting or receiving a radio signal;condition determining means for determining a power supply condition of the apparatus; andcontrol means for determining whether the determined power supply condition represents an appropriate supply voltage and whether relay transmission is possible according to a determination of whether the power supply condition determined by said condition determining means represents an appropriate supply voltage and for carrying out the relay transmission with said communication processing means according to said determination, andwherein data of determination on whether the relay transmission is possible made by the control means is attached to data to be transmitted by the communication processing means, andwherein the data includes as part of a transmission frame a station synchronous transmission/reception section having power supply information and move possibility information. 7. A radio transmission apparatus for carrying out radio commu nication with another communication station in a radio network, the apparatus comprising:communication processing means for transmitting or receiving a radio signal;condition determining means for determining a presence/absence of portability of the apparatus and whether the apparatus is a mobile unit; andcontrol means for determining based on the determined presence/absence of portability whether relay transmission is possible according to a determination by said condition determining means and for carrying out the relay transmission with said communication processing means according to said determination, andwherein data of determination on whether the relay transmission is possible made by the control means is attached to data to be transmitted by the communication processing means, andwherein the data includes as part of a transmission frame a station synchronous transmission/reception section having power supply information and move possibility information. 8. The radio transmission apparatus according to claim 7 wherein the determination on the presence/absence of portability is carried out depending on whether an electronic appliance connected to said apparatus can be carried by a user. 9. The radio transmission apparatus according to claim 7 wherein the determination on the presence/absence of portability by the condition determining means is carried out by detecting a change in a radio communication condition with another communication station in the radio network. 10. The radio transmission apparatus according to claim 7 further comprising a switch, wherein the determination on the presence/absence of portability by the condition determining means is carried out depending on a condition of the switch. 11. The radio transmission apparatus according to claim 7, wherein data of determination on whether the relay transmission is possible made by the control means is attached to data to be transmitted by the communication processing means.
