The object of the present invention is to provide a wireless communication
method and apparatus, which obtains both Multi-User Diversity (MUD) and
Multi-User Multiplexing (MUM) effects simultaneously using multiple beams
having random weights. In the wireless communication method, a
transmission stage having M antennas (M is an integer equal to or greater
than 1) selects B reception stages (B is an integer equal to or greater
than 1) among K reception stages (K is an integer equal to or greater
than 1) each having N antennas (N is an integer equal to or greater than
1) and generates B beams to transmit B signals in a multiple-access
transmission manner. In the wireless communication method, the weight
vector w.sub.b=[w.sub.1,b, w.sub.2,b, . . . , w.sub.M,b] is determined to
generate the b-th beam (b is an integer equal to or greater than 1 and
equal to or less than B) corresponding to the b-th signal among B signals
so as to determine the weight of output values respectively allocated to
M antennas for the purpose of respectively generating B signals. The
weight vector is determined so that respective elements thereof are
determined to prevent interference between the different beams of B beams
from exceeding a preset threshold. B signals are transmitted through B
multiple channels obtained by generating B beams depending on the weights
of elements.
