There is provided with a radio communication method including: managing carrier sensing states of any one of two first channels having identical bandwidths and a second channel including both bands of the two first channels; determining whether to transmit transmission data using the first channel or the second channel; attempting to acquire a transmission right using the second channel based on the carrier sensing state of the second channel when the transmission data is determined to be transmitted using the second channel; and performing control such that the transmission data is transmitted using any one of the first channels when the time during which the attempt to acquire the transmission right using the second channel is made exceeds a time threshold set in advance.
