Patent ID: 8675759

Claim:
A wireless transmission system for path diversity capable of performing multi-station simultaneous transmission of data, comprising a plurality of wireless stations and a multipath transmission path formed between the plurality of wireless stations, wherein the plurality of wireless stations includes: at least one wireless station that determines, at one time, depending on a response packet with respect to a multi-station simultaneous transmission request packet for requesting multi-station simultaneous transmission that is transmitted by itself or another station, a plurality of combinations of a symbol waveform and a delay amount from a reference timing that are used for transmission signals that are sent by the multi-station simultaneous transmission, the plurality of combinations corresponding to a number of wireless stations capable of performing the multi-station simultaneous transmission, and the least one wireless station notifies each of the wireless stations capable of performing the multi-station simultaneous transmission of at least one of the plurality of combinations; and a destination wireless station that receives the transmission signals that are sent by each of the wireless stations capable of the multi-station simultaneous transmission, the transmission signals being sent by each of the wireless stations capable of the multi-station simultaneous transmission using the at least one of the plurality of combinations notified of by the at least one wireless station, wherein when the number of wireless stations capable of performing the multi-station simultaneous transmission is larger than a maximum effective branch number, the at least one wireless station determines the number of the plurality of combinations to be smaller than or equal to the maximum effective branch number.
