Abstract
A multiple control station transits a first broadcast frame including a first identifier for identifying a first host and a second broadcast frame including a second identifier for identifying a second host to a terminal station over a wireless channel using time division. The multiple control station then receives a connection request frame that requests connection with the first host or the second host from the terminal station. Arbitration is then performed so that the terminal station is connected to the first host or the second host in accordance with the first identifier or the second identifier included in the received connection request frame.
