A radio communication apparatus includes a first processing unit which performs physical layer protocol processing in order to make a radio communication using at least one first channel having a first frequency bandwidth and a second processing unit which performs physical layer protocol processing in order to make a radio communication using a second channel which has a second frequency bandwidth. The second frequency bandwidth has a bandwidth wider than that of the first frequency band. A transmission frame including either information of a traffic class, a capability of a destination terminal, a recommended bandwidth by the destination terminal, and a time limit to complete transmission of a frame is stored in a queue. A scheduler controls a time when the transmission frame is output from the queue, and which of the first and the second processing units should be used for the output transmission frame, based on the information.
