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

An electronic device, comprising:

• circuitry configured to:
• transmit a multi-request to send (multi-RTS) signal to a first wireless communication device and a second wireless communication device,
• wherein the multi-RTS signal comprises identification information of the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device,
• receive at least one of a first clear to send (CTS) signal from the first wireless communication device or a second CTS signal from the second wireless communication device, wherein:
• the first CTS signal is transmitted in response to the multi-RTS signal,
• the second CTS signal is transmitted concurrently with the transmission of the first CTS signal in response to the multi-RTS signal,
• the first CTS signal and the second CTS signal include a same training field,
• the first CTS signal is transmitted after a short inter-frame space (SIFS) from a first reception time of the multi-RTS signal at the first wireless communication device, and
• the second CTS signal is transmitted after the SIFS from a second reception time of the multi-RTS signal at the second wireless communication device;
• and
• transmit a multiplexed data signal to the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device, based on reception of the first CTS signal and the second CTS signal,
• wherein the multiplexed data signal includes first data for the first wireless communication device and second data for the second wireless communication device.
