1. A relay system comprising an authentication device connected to a base station, and a relay base station mounted on a vehicle and configured to relay wireless communication between the base station and at least one communication terminal, wherein
the authentication device is configured to:
determine whether a registered identifier of a registered terminal possessed by a user in the vehicle matches an identifier of a first communication terminal, which is among the at least one communication terminal, received from the relay base station via the base station,
generate a permission signal indicating whether to permit relay of wireless communication between the first communication terminal and the base station, depending on the result of determination, and
send the generated permission signal to the relay base station via the base station, and wherein
the relay base station is configured to:
relay wireless communication between the first communication terminal and the base station when the permission signal indicates that the relay is permitted, and
omit to relay wireless communication between the first communication terminal and the base station when the permission signal indicates that the relay is not permitted.
