Patent ID: 8134968

Claim:
A wireless communication method of a wireless communication apparatus for performing wireless communications with a plurality of wireless stations using a spatial division multiple access scheme, comprising: a moving speed grasp step of grasping a moving speed of the plurality of wireless stations; a priority grasp step of grasping a priority of each of the wireless stations; a channel assignment order determination step of determining, based on the moving speed grasped by the moving speed grasp step, a channel assignment order to the plurality of wireless stations so that channel assignment is performed to the plurality of wireless stations from a wireless station having a highest moving speed; a channel assignment order adjustment step of modifying the channel assignment order, when the priority has been grasped in the priority grasp step, based on the grasped priority, so that the channel assignment order with respect to the high-priority wireless station is placed high; and a channel assignment control step of controlling so that assignment is performed from channels for frequency division multiple access based on the channel assignment order, and for wireless stations after a wireless station to which the channel for frequency division multiple access is last assigned, at least a channel for spatial division multiple access that has been spatially divided for the last channel for frequency division multiple access is assigned.
