A format that includes a BSSID of a transmitting station within a preamble of the frame is an HE format, and a format that does not include a BSSID within the preamble but includes a BSSID in a MAC header is a Non-HE format; and a wireless station in the BSS includes a control part which checks a format of a frame received at a predetermined receiver sensitivity or above, and continues demodulation of the received frame if the format is HE format and the BSSID in the received frame is consistent with its own BSS, and stops the demodulation of the received frame if the HE format and the BSSID in the received frame is not consistent with its own BSS.

Wireless communication system and wireless communication method

A predetermined radio base station and subordinate radio terminals detect signals (beacons) regularly transmitted by other radio base stations, transmit information about radio channels and base station identifiers of the detected signals, and position information about the radio terminals to an interference area detection device to aggregate the information and the position information as a base station-base station detection list and a terminal-base station detection list. The interference area detection device compares the lists, determines, for each of positions of the subordinate radio terminals to the predetermined radio base station, whether both of the signal of the predetermined radio base station and a signal of another radio base station, which cannot be detected by the predetermined radio base station, are detected or not, and determines that a position where both of the signals are detected is within an interference area if the predetermined radio base station and the other radio base station detected at the position use the same radio channel.
