Abstract: There is provided a wireless communication device that includes: a receiving unit that receives a first transmission frame via a receiving antenna, the first transmission frame being transmitted from a communication partner; a response-frame generating unit that generates a first response frame indicating reception of the first transmission frame, based on the first transmission frame received via the receiving antenna; a transmitting unit that transmits the generated first response frame via a transmitting antenna; a determining unit that determines whether or not the same first transmission frame is retransmitted from the communication partner; and an antenna control unit that changes a beam pattern of the transmitting antenna, when the same first transmission frame is retransmitted from the communication partner.
