Apparatus and method for communicating aggregation traffic in a multi-hop relay broadband wireless access communication system

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for communicating an integrated traffic in a broadband wireless access communication system using a multi-hop relay scheme. The base station apparatus according to the invention, the integrator to integrate (aggregation) of the user traffic in a burst sent with the relay station, and a map generating unit to generate the map information object for the combined bursts, from the integrator and a transmitter configured to transmit a downlink burst and integrated frame including the map information from the map objects in the configuration section. This invention has the advantage of being able to send and receive data traffic because they send and receive traffic with an integrated base station and the relay station, and efficiently. Further, since the map information with respect to the user traffic transmitted via a relay station to be assigned to only one, it has the advantage of reducing the overhead map.
