A multiple control station (201) transmits a first broadcast frame including a first identifier for identifying a first host (202) and a second broadcast frame including a second identifier for identifying a second host (203) to a terminal station (52) over a wireless channel using time division. The multiple control station then receives a connection request frame that requests connection with the first host (202) or the second host (203) from the terminal station (52). 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.
