APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION USING DIRECTIONAL AND OMNI-DIRECTIONAL ANTENNAS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide antenna control techniques to reduce influence of interference.

SOLUTION: A station is equipped with antenna elements selectable for use as an omni-directional antenna or one or more directional antennas to select the omni-directional antenna or a directional antenna for communication. The station selects the omni-directional antenna or a directional antenna for use for communication on the basis of various factors such as whether the location or direction of a target station for communication is known and whether control frames or data frames are being exchanged.
