• waiting, from another device which has received the first request formation, for first response information with respect to the first request information using the first frequency for a predetermined duration;
• receiving the first response information from the another device;
• in response to receiving the first response information, sending first operation mode determination information indicating a priority index of the wireless communication device to the another device;
• receiving, from the another device, second operation mode determination information indicating a priority index of the another device;
• and
• determining, based on the first and the second operation mode determination information, that the wireless communication device is caused to operate as one of a master device or a slave device.
