1. A wireless communication method for connecting a base station with each of a plurality of terminal stations, the base station being equipped with a plurality of wireless communications units configured to be able to select a plurality of different transmission rates and connectable with one or more of the terminal stations, the method comprising:
a collection step of collecting information about a transmission rate and multicast transmission frequency from each of the terminal stations;
a policy calculation step of calculating a setting policy for setting a unicast transmission rate and a multicast transmission rate for each of the wireless communications units and a switching policy for setting a condition for switching that one of the wireless communications units which is to be connected, for each of the terminal stations based on the collected information; and
a setting step of setting those of the terminal stations which are to be connected,
for each of the wireless communications units based on the calculated setting policy and switching policy.
