Original Abstract Submitted
A beam setting method includes a communication method prediction step of predicting a communication method performed on the basis of whether there is a line-of-sight between a first radio station device and a second radio station device; a first beam number setting step of setting the number of beams transmitted by a beam sweep, in which signals using formable beams are sequentially transmitted in a time-division manner, to a first constant, when the communication method prediction step predicts that communication is performed by the communication method using reflected waves; and a second beam number setting step of setting the number of beams transmitted by the beam sweep to a second constant smaller than the first constant, when the communication method prediction step predicts that communication is performed by the communication method using line-of-sight waves.
