Abstract
A radio communication system comprises a transmitting antenna for transmitting radio signals. Each radio signal is transmitted via one of a plurality of beams of different maximum radiated directions. The system also comprises a transmitting section for adding to a radio signal, transmitted via an i-th beam among the plurality of beams, beam identification information that identifies on which i-th beam of said plurality of beams said radio signal is being transmitted. The system further comprises a receiving antenna for receiving the radio signals transmitted by the plurality of beams and a receiver for selectively receiving a signal transmitted by a specific beam according to a predetermined estimation standard. Alternatively, the system may comprise a first radio station and a second radio station. The first radio station may include a transmitting antenna for transmitting signals with beam identification numbers and a receiving antenna for receiving signals from other radio stations. The second radio station may include a receiving antenna capable of receiving signals transmitted by the first transmitting antenna and a receiver for selectively receiving a signal transmitted by a…
