Abstract
A method of controlling a wireless communication system including a plurality of communication devices is disclosed. In the method, firstly, one of the communication devices establishes a fixed beam pattern and transmits a training signal, and another communication device receives the training signal while scanning a beam direction by changing the AWVs of an antenna array. Next, it obtains a data string describing a relation between an incoming direction and a received-signal characteristic at the other communication device based on a reception result of the training signal. Then, it obtains first AWVs with which a beam is formed in a plurality of incoming directions of the received signal based on the data string. The roles of these two communication devices are interchanged and similar processes are performed in order to obtain second AWVs, and then one of AWV combinations combining first and second AWVs are used for wireless communication between these communication devices.
