Claim Text:
1. A wireless station comprising: a receiver configured to receive a packet transmitted from another wireless station; a processor configured to calculate a retransmission start time of a packet transmitted to another wireless station, which is after a transmission inhibition period of the another wireless station calculated based on values acquired within the wireless station; and a transmitter configured to control transmission of a packet that is the same as the packet transmitted to the another wireless station in accordance with whether a response signal responsive to the packet transmitted to the another wireless station is received before the set retransmission start time is reached, wherein the values are a reception start time of the received packet, a reception end time of the received packet, a minimum quiescence period from the reception end time of the received packet, and a maximum transmission period which is a time period during which a subsequent packet is capable of being transmitted without waiting for the minimum quiescence period, wherein the processor is configured to calculate the retransmission start time based on a transmission inhibition period from a start time obtained by adding the reception start time and the maximum transmission period to an end time obtained by adding the reception end time and the minimum quiescence period.
