A base station of a radio communication system emits a radio wave having
the same frequency by time division toward a plurality of specific areas
from a plurality of antenna elements by using a multiple-beam antenna to
form a plurality of spot beams, and transmits broadcast information
through a plurality of beacon channels. Upon reception of the broadcast
information, a terminal that exists in any one of the plurality of
specific areas selects an optimum beacon channel, and transmits a
communication establishment request and a bandwidth request to the base
station through a request channel corresponding to information for
identifying the antenna element, which is included in the broadcast
information received through the selected optimum beacon channel. Upon
reception of the requests, the base station schedules, when a channel is
to be allocated, a channel allocation time including downlink and uplink
data bandwidths and the like.
