Abstract
A wireless communication method in a wireless communication system including an exchange device and a base station device that performs beamforming according to the control of the exchange device, in which: the exchange device performs beamforming control of the base station device by transmitting an optically modulated signal to the base station device via an optical transmission line, the optically modulated signal being generated by modulating an intensity of an optical signal on a basis of a transmission signal to be transmitted by controlling any combination of an optical wavelength, a frequency, and an optical polarization or controlling the frequency; and the base station device performs beamforming in a direction in which a wireless signal radiated from an antenna to which an electrical signal based on the optically modulated signal has been input is reflected by a reflector or is transmitted through a lens among antennas corresponding to the number of combinations of the optical wavelength, the frequency, and the optical polarization or the number of frequencies.
