[Problem] To improve system throughput by preventing a greater-than-necessary increase in overhead required by an inquiry. [Solution] A wireless communication integrated circuit of an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a baseband integrated circuit. The baseband integrated circuit determines parameter information relating to a back-off time when performing carrier sensing in accordance with CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance), according to the number of other wireless communication devices that have established a connection with an own device, and via an RF integrated circuit, transmits a first frame indicating that a response frame will be sent pursuant to the parameter information. |
