A method and system for transmitting data from a base station to a mobile station in a wireless communication system using a multiple hop relay scheme is In a multi-hop system having a plurality of nodes, performing bidirectional data transmission between the nodes comprises: grouping the plurality of nodes into a first node group to a fourth node group, and assigning data transmission intervals to the grouped node groups at each frame, the data transmission intervals dividing each frame in time; receiving, by a second group node, data from an upper group node at a first frame and, at the same time, receiving, by a third group node, data from a lower group node; and transmitting by the second group node data to the upper group node at a second frame and, at the same time, transmitting by the third group node data to the lower group node.
