A wireless device operating as station, comprising: circuitry (110, 120, 130) configured to perform multi-user spatial multiplex communication and single user communication with a communication device operating as an access point; set a first waiting time for the single user communication; count the first waiting time in a period in which a second waiting time for the multi-user spatial multiplex communication is counted; receive, from the communication device, a trigger frame causing transmission of data using the multi-user spatial multiplex communication; suspend counting the first waiting time in response to receiving the trigger frame; set a transmission prohibition period, during which the wireless device is unable to transmit a signal, as a network allocation vector, NAV, in a case where the wireless device is not included as a permission target of the multi-user spatial multiplex communication designated by the trigger frame; transmit the data using the multi-user spatial multiplex communication in a case where the wireless device is included as a permission target of the multi-user spatial multiplex communication designated by the trigger frame; restart to count the suspended first waiting time without resetting the first waiting time, based on a lapse of a time for reception of a response frame from the communication device, wherein the response frame is responded to transmission of the data using the multi-user spatial multiplex communication caused by the trigger frame, or based on a lapse of the transmission prohibition period; and transmit the data to the communication device by the single user communication after the first waiting time expired. circuitry (110, 120, 130) configured to perform multi-user spatial multiplex communication and single user communication with a communication device operating as an access point; set a first waiting time for the single user communication; count the first waiting time in a period in which a second waiting time for the multi-user spatial multiplex communication is counted; receive, from the communication device, a trigger frame causing transmission of data using the multi-user spatial multiplex communication; suspend counting the first waiting time in response to receiving the trigger frame; set a transmission prohibition period, during which the wireless device is unable to transmit a signal, as a network allocation vector, NAV, in a case where the wireless device is not included as a permission target of the multi-user spatial multiplex communication designated by the trigger frame; transmit the data using the multi-user spatial multiplex communication in a case where the wireless device is included as a permission target of the multi-user spatial multiplex communication designated by the trigger frame; restart to count the suspended first waiting time without resetting the first waiting time, based on a lapse of a time for reception of a response frame from the communication device, wherein the response frame is responded to transmission of the data using the multi-user spatial multiplex communication caused by the trigger frame, or based on a lapse of the transmission prohibition period; and transmit the data to the communication device by the single user communication after the first waiting time expired.
