Wireless communication method and wireless communication apparatus

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 unit for grasping a moving speed of the plurality of wireless stations;
• a priority grasp unit for grasping priority of each of the wireless stations;
• a channel assignment order determination unit for determining, based on the moving speed grasped by the moving speed grasp unit;
• 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 unit for modifying the channel assignment order, when the information indicating the priority has been grasped by the priority grasp unit, 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 unit for controlling to assign channels for frequency division multiple access and channels for spatial division multiple access based on the channel assignment order, wherein the channel assignment control unit controls to assign to the wireless stations from the channels for frequency division multiple access based on the channel assignment order, and for the wireless stations after the wireless station to which the channel for frequency division multiple access is last assigned, controls so that 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.
