  • a channel state information collecting unit which collects channel state information of channels between the wireless communication apparatus and the plurality of stations;

    a wireless resource allocating unit which generates a plurality of SDMA group candidates as candidates for SDMA groups formed by conducting the SDMA for the plurality of stations, estimates communication performance of each of the stations belonging to the SDMA group candidates by using the channel state information, selects an SDMA group from the plurality of SDMA groups according to the communication performance estimated for each station, and determines a period of time to be allocated to the selected SDMA group to thereby allocate wireless resources to the plurality of stations; and

    a signal processing unit which communicates with the plurality of stations using the wireless resources thus allocated.
