Claims19
A radio communication apparatus associated with a plurality of radio communication terminals, the apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of transceiver units configured to transmit and receive radio signals to and from the radio communication terminals;
- a channel state estimating unit configured to estimate channel states between the radio communication terminals based on the radio signals received;
- and
- an assignment unit configured to simultaneously assign the transceiver units to a radio communication terminal of the radio communication terminals based on the channel states estimated.
A radio communication method for a radio communication apparatus including a plurality of transceiver units which transmits and receives radio signals to and from a plurality of radio communication terminals, the method comprising:
- estimating channel states between the radio communication terminals based on the radio signals received;
- and
- simultaneously assigning a plurality of the transceiver units to one of the radio communication terminals based on the channel states estimated.
