- a first step of determining diversity combining information with respect to each signal of the antennas of each antenna group that optimizes a diversity reception state at each antenna group as a value optimum in each wireless communication device through two-way training signal transfer between the wireless communication devices that perform transmission and reception;
a second step of setting the value optimum of each diversity combining information with respect to each signal of the antennas of each antenna group determined by the first step for each wireless communication device; and

wherein,in the first step, in each diversity reception in one or a plurality of times two-way training signal transfer, diversity combining information that optimizes a diversity reception state at each antenna group is obtained based on training reception information showing a receiving state of a diversity-combining received signal at each antenna group, thereafter diversity combining information is updated by the resulting diversity combining information after diversity reception, thereafter the diversity combining information updated thereby is set, and a training signal is transmitted, thereby determining a set of vectors asymptotically approaching to a set of eigenvectors with respect to a maximum eigenvalue of a correlation matrix of a channel matrix in a transfer between antenna groups of a couple of wireless communication devices that perform transmission and reception as the value optimum of diversity combining information between antenna groups of the couple of wireless communication devices.

Abstract
The wireless communication devices A and B determine the optimal diversity combining weight information that optimizes a diversity reception state at each antenna group A1, A2, . . . , AP through two-way training signal transfer between the wireless communication devices A and B. This optimal diversity combining weight information is set to each antenna of each antenna group A1, A2, . . . , AP. Wireless communication units A′, B′ perform spacial mapping of signals from antenna group A1, A2, . . . , AP using MIMO technology. Communication area can be enlarged by hierarchization MIMO using the optimal diversity combining weight information.
