A wireless station according to the present invention is a wireless station used as one of a plurality of relay stations forming transmission paths, respectively, different from each other, in a wireless transmission system for transmitting a packet from a transmitting station to a receiving station through the plurality of relay stations, and the wireless station comprises: a reception section for receiving a packet transmitted from the transmitting station, and receiving a packet which is transmitted, based on the packet transmitted from the transmitting station, from a relay station other than the one of the plurality of relay stations, and is transmitted before the one of the plurality of relay stations performs transmission, by using a transmission parameter for obtaining a path diversity effect in the wireless transmission system; a transmission parameter estimation section for estimating the transmission parameter used by the relay station other than the one of the plurality of relay stations, based on the packet received by the reception section from the relay station other than the one of the plurality of relay stations; a transmission parameter selection section for selecting the transmission parameter other than the transmission parameter which is used by the relay station other than the one of the plurality of relay stations, and is estimated by the transmission parameter estimation section; and a transmission section for transmitting, to the receiving station, the packet received by the reception section from the transmitting station, by using the transmission parameter selected by the transmission parameter selection section.
