Abstract

A wireless transmitter capable of transmitting a data stream to a wireless receiver, the wireless transmitter includes a plurality of transmitting antennas; and a scheduler controls to increase the number of candidate beams selectable for transmitting said data stream depending on the number of data streams to be transmitted from said transmitting antennas becoming small, wherein said beams are formed by predetermined number of the plurality of transmitting antennas.

Claims (35)

1. A wireless transmitter capable of transmitting a data stream to a wireless receiver, the wireless transmitter comprising:

a plurality of transmitting antennas; and

a scheduler controls to increase the number of candidates of beams transmitting said data stream depending on the number of data streams to be transmitted from said transmitting antennas becoming small, wherein

said beams transmitting said data stream are selected from among said candidates of beams, and

said selected beams are formed by predetermined number of the plurality of transmitting antennas.

2. A wireless receiver capable of receiving a data stream from a wireless transmitter having a plurality of transmitting antennas, the wireless receiver comprising:

a receiving antenna;

a receiver that receives at least one beam transmitted by said wireless transmitter through said receiving antenna; and

determination unit, determines by the wireless receiver, a number of transmission data streams; and

reporting unit reports information regarding the number of the transmission data streams to the wireless transmitter from the wireless receiver, wherein

said beams transmitting said transmission data stream are selected from among candidates of beams, the number of said candidates of beams increasing depending on said reported number of transmission data streams becoming small, and

said selected beams are formed by predetermined number of the plurality of transmitting antennas.

3. A method for transmitting a data stream, the method comprising:

controlling to increase the number of candidates of beams transmitting said data stream depending on the number of data streams to be transmitted from a plurality of transmitting antennas becoming small, wherein

said beams transmitting said data stream are selected from among said candidates of beams, and

said selected beams are formed by predetermined number of the plurality of transmitting antennas.

4. A method for receiving a data stream from a wireless transmitter having a plurality of transmitting antennas, the method comprising:

receiving at least one beam transmitted by said wireless transmitter through a receiving antenna; and

determining a number of transmission data streams; and

reporting information regarding the number of the transmission data streams to the wireless transmitter, wherein

said beams transmitting said transmission data stream are selected from among candidates of beams, the number of said candidates of beams increasing depending on said reported number of transmission data streams becoming small, and

said selected beams are formed by predetermined number of the plurality of transmitting antennas.

5. A wireless communication system, the system comprising:

a wireless transmitter capable of transmitting a data stream; and

a wireless receiver capable of receiving the data stream from the wireless transmitter, wherein

the wireless transmitter comprises:

a plurality of transmitting antennas; and

a scheduler controls to increase the number of candidates of beams transmitting said data stream depending on the number of data streams to be transmitted from said transmitting antennas becoming small,

the wireless receiver comprises:

a receiving antenna;

a receiver that receives any one or more transmission beam transmitted by said wireless transmitter through said receiving antenna; and

determination unit, determines by the wireless receiver, a number of transmission data streams; and

reporting unit reports information regarding the number of the transmission data streams to the wireless transmitter from the wireless receiver, and

said beams transmitting said data stream are selected from among said candidates of beams, and

said selected beams are formed by predetermined number of the plurality of transmitting antennas.
