Radio packet communication method

A wireless packet communication method for transmitting X data packets simultaneously between two STAs by using a plurality of radio channels determined to be idle by carrier sense and/or a radio channel determined to be idle and MIMO, X corresponding to a total number of MIMOs of the plurality of radio channels determined to be idle, the wireless packet communication method characterized by comprising:
