Wireless device and communication control method

A wireless device capable of wireless communication with other device in a plurality of frequency bands, the wireless device comprising:

• a storage unit that stores therein MIMO support information indicating whether MIMO transmission is enabled or not, method information including at least maximum code length and a modulation method, and classification information used to classify a combination of the MIMO support information and the method information;
• a receiving unit that receives band information indicating a frequency band to be used in the wireless communication with the other device from the other device;
• a detecting unit that detects whether a wireless module assigned wireless communication processing in the frequency band indicated in the received band information supports MIMO transmission;
• an acquiring unit that acquires the classification information identifying desired method information among the method information associated with the MIMO support information indicating that MIMO transmission is enabled from the storage unit when it has been detected that the wireless module supports MIMO transmission, and acquires the classification information identifying desired method information among the method information associated with the MIMO support information indicating that MIMO transmission is not enabled from the storage unit when it has been detected that the wireless module does not support MIMO transmission;
• and
• a transmitting unit that transmits the acquired classification information to the other device.
