In order to provide a wireless communication system capable of improving the throughput of wireless communication by effectively using frequency resources, in a wireless communication system in which a first wireless access point which communicates with one or more wireless stations within a first cell by orthogonal frequency-division multiple access and a second wireless access point which is capable of performing carrier sensing with the first wireless access point and communicates with one or more wireless stations within a second cell by the orthogonal frequency-division multiple access operate in cooperation with each other, the first wireless access point includes an access right acquiring means which acquires an access right when data to be transmitted is generated; and a transmitting means of permission for use which transmits permission for use of channels which are not scheduled to use within the first cell, to the second wireless access point in a period in which the access right is acquired, and the second wireless access point includes a communication means which communicates with the wireless station within the second cell via the channel in which the permission for use is acquired.
