Wireless communication system and wireless communication control method

A wireless communication system in which an access point (AP) and user equipment (UE), which perform access control using CSMA/CA, judge an exposed situation in transmission of the AP and an exposed situation in reception of the UE that are due to an influence of a hidden station, and perform control which avoids the influence of the hidden station, based on a result of the judgment, the system comprising:

• a judgment section configured to judge an exposed level in transmission of the AP which is based on a congesting level in transmission, which is caused by a wireless station in defer transmission that is in a neighborhood of the AP;
• and
• a control section configured to perform control which changes a channel of the AP, when the exposed level in transmission cannot satisfy expected quality of the AP;
• wherein the judgment section is configured to make a judgment of the exposed level in transmission of the AP which is based on the congesting level in transmission, using a result of aggregation obtained by aggregating an index in a prescribed period and using a judgment threshold.

• a control section configured to perform one of control which changes a connected AP of the UE and control which changes to other network, when the exposed level in reception cannot satisfy expected quality of the AP;
• wherein the judgment section is configured to make a judgment of the exposed level in reception of the UE which is based on the congesting level in reception, using a result of aggregation obtained by aggregating an index in a prescribed period and using a judgment threshold.
