Radio communication device, method, and program that calculate transmission time based on data rate

A radio communication apparatus, comprising:

• a processor that
• calculates a first transmission time for first data using a length of the first data and a first data rate, the first data being a frame connecting a plurality of MAC frames for a first destination,
• calculates a second transmission time for second data using a length of the second data and a second data rate, the second data being a frame connecting a plurality of MAC frames for a second destination,
• generates fourth data by adding third data to the first data when the first transmission time is shorter than the second transmission time,
• generates a first physical frame from the fourth data, and
• generates a second physical frame from the second data,
• wherein a transmission time for the first physical frame is equal to a transmission time for the second physical frame and is based on adding the third data to the first data.

A radio communication apparatus, comprising:

• a processor that
• calculates first transmission times for a plurality of first data units using each length of the first data units and a corresponding data rate, the first data units each being a frame connecting a plurality of MAC frames for a same destination,
• generates third data units by adding a corresponding second data unit to each of the first data units when a first transmission time of the each of the first data units is shorter than a second transmission time, which is a longest transmission time among the first transmission times, a length of the corresponding second data unit being adjusted according to a length of each of the first data units, and
• generates a plurality of physical frames from the third data units and one of the first data units having the second transmission time,
• wherein transmission times for the physical frames are the same based on adding the corresponding second data unit to the each of the first data units.
