A wireless network control apparatus capable of transmitting an acknowledgement of receipt at an earlier timing, thereby suppressing any delay that would otherwise be caused by a retransmission. In this apparatus, a reading part (102) reads an RRC connection request message. A transmission control part (103) controls an ACK generating part (105) such that an ACK message generated by the ACK generating part (105) is transmitted first, while controlling a message creating part (104) such that an RRC connection establishment message generated by the message creating part (104) is transmitted in succession to the ACK message. The message creating part (104) creates the RRC connection establishment message that includes an information element serving as information for establishing an RRC connection. The ACK generating part (105) creates the ACK message of one block including the information element.
