Abstract
When communication is to be performed between communication devices having a directivity control function, a plurality of antenna-setting pairs available for the communication are stored by an initial training, and the communication is started by using one of the plurality of antenna-setting pairs. When the communication quality is deteriorated, firstly, a training signal is transmitted while successively setting each one of the plurality of antenna-setting candidates determined in the initial training in a transmitting antenna of one of the communication devices (), and the training signal is received in a state where a quasi-omni pattern is generated in a receiving antenna of the other communication device (). In this way, in radio communication performing beam forming, it is possible to ensure the time synchronization between the communication devices when communication is disconnected or communication quality is deteriorated due to shielding or the like.
