Claim:
A radio control method for a radio communication being performed in beam directions including a first beam direction, a second beam direction and a third beam direction that are set on the basis of communication quality, the method comprising: a step of acquiring a data string formed of information of at least the beam directions and communication quality in the beam directions; a step of assigning a priority ranks including a first priority rank and a second priority rank lower than the first priority rank to the beam directions according to the data string, in order to set the beam directions for performing the radio communication in each of the beam directions which are determined by the communication quality; and sequentially assigning a priority rank in order to set the beam direction for performing the radio communication in the beam direction in which the highest communication quality is obtained, according to the data string, wherein the step of assigning a priority rank does not assign priority rank to the beam direction adjacent to the beam direction to which a priority rank has already been assigned, or the beam direction in the vicinity where the adjacent beam direction is present.
