Abstract

A method that carries out uplink multiple access while reducing complexity in processing accompanying exchange of control information. A terminal device that performs uplink multiple access communication includes a reception unit that receives a frame including uplink multiple access connection information, a first autonomous decentralized control unit that instructs securing time of a wireless resource, and a second autonomous decentralized control unit that instructs securing time of a wireless resource after reception of a frame including the uplink multiple access connection information. The terminal device is instructed securing time of the wireless resource by the first autonomous decentralized control unit in a case that a frame including the uplink multiple access connection information is not received. Securing time of the wireless resource is instructed by the second autonomous decentralized control unit in a case that a frame including the uplink multiple access connection information is received.
