Abstract
A wireless communication system has no limitation in the number of AP antennas and UT antennas, and determines the parallel-communication data units to be a maximum value of MIMO communication, such that it provides a MIMO-SDMA wireless data communication system having superior transmission characteristics. The MIMO-SDMA wireless data communication system includes a single AP (Access Point) and U UTs (User Terminals) communicating with the AP using the same frequency signal at the same time. The UT includes the SDMA reception (Rx) processor, and synthesizes Rx signals of antennas, such that it controls the number of Rx data units. By the control of the number of Rx data units, the communication system controls the number of parallel-communication data units to be equal to a maximum value capable of being implemented by the MIMO-SDMA wireless data communication. The AP informs the UTs of a coefficient matrix required for the SDMA Rx process, prior to transmitting actual data.
