Wireless communication device, wireless communication system, wireless communication method and program

A communication method, executed via at least one processor associated with a first electronic device, and using data defined in IEEE 802.11, the method comprising:

• setting a first value indicating a suitability for transmitting a signal of the first electronic device, wherein the first value represents a magnitude associated with a function of the first electronic device;
• receiving a data frame from a second electronic device;
• detecting a second value from the data frame, the second value representing a magnitude associated with a function of the second electronic device;
• comparing the first value with the second value;
• and
• determining whether the first electronic device transmits a signal or not,
• wherein the first electronic device is set to transmit the signal, in response to a determination that the first value is larger than the second value, and
• wherein the first electronic device is set not to transmit the signal, in response to a determination that the first value is smaller than the second value.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a processor associated with a first electronic device causes the electronic device to execute a communication method using data defined in IEEE 802.11, the method comprising:

• setting a first value indicating a suitability for transmitting a signal of the first electronic device, wherein the first value represents a magnitude associated with a function of the first electronic device;
• receiving a data frame from a second electronic device;
• detecting a second value from the data frame, the second value representing a magnitude associated with a function of the second electronic device;
• comparing the first value with the second value;
• and
• determining whether the first electronic device transmits a signal or not,
• wherein the first electronic device is set to transmit the signal, in response to a determination that the first value is larger than the second value, and
• wherein the first electronic device is set not to transmit the signal, in response to a determination that the first value is smaller than the second value.
