1. A wireless communication device comprising:
circuitry configured to
control to transmit a request frame indicating a request for traffic information, the traffic information including information indicating whether or not there is specific traffic, the specific traffic including traffic related to priority of delivery which includes traffic designated by a generation source of the traffic;
control to receive a response frame in which the traffic information is stored;
control to transmit, after the reception of the response frame in which the traffic information is stored, a trigger frame related to permission of transmission directed to a first wireless communication device that is permitted to perform multiple access; and
control to receive a frame related to the trigger frame,
wherein designated traffic information indicating traffic that the first wireless communication device is caused to transmit and communication parameter information related to the multiple access are stored in the trigger frame related to permission of transmission,
wherein each of the traffic information and the designated traffic information include information regarding an access category, respectively,
wherein the information regarding the access category includes information regarding AC_VO (Access Category Voice), AC_VI (Access Category Video), AC_BK (Access Category Background), or AC_BE (Access Category Best Effort),
wherein the traffic information includes information indicating an amount of the specific traffic, and
wherein the multiple access includes orthogonal frequency division multiple access or space division multiple access.
