Abstract:
1. A wireless communication method used in a wireless communication system including base stations and mobile stations, the method comprising: respectively forming, at each base station, first communication regions and second communication regions at edges of a cell of the each base station by changing a direction of a directional antenna in synchronization with other surrounding base stations at a given cycle period, wherein each first communication region is configured so that a first level is reached in an antenna gain between sectors contained in the cell of the each base station and the sectors included in the cells of the other surrounding base stations, and wherein each second communication region is configured so that a second level lower than the first level is reached in the antenna gain; and combining signals, at each mobile station, from a given plurality of base stations during a time period in which a sum of incoming signal levels from the given plurality of base stations satisfies given conditions.
