9. A wireless communication method performed by a wireless communication device comprising:
receiving a first type of frame including a receiving address field, at least one first field to specify a plurality of frequency components and one or more second fields wherein a broadcast address is contained in the receiving address field, and an AID (Association ID) designating a terminal or a value not designating any terminal is contained in each of the one or more second fields, at least one of the one or more second fields contains the value not designating any terminal;
determining frequency components for which any terminal is not designated based on the at least one first field and the at least one second field containing the value not designating any terminal in response to that the AID value designating the wireless communication device is not contained in any of the second fields, and determining whether to respond to the first type of frame, based on a first value selected randomly from a first value range and a number of the determined frequency components;
selecting to, in response to determining to respond to the first type of frame, one frequency component from the determined frequency components and transmitting a second type of frame using the selected frequency component; and
determining whether transmission of the second type of frame has succeeded or failed, and adjusting the first value range based on a result of determining whether transmission of the second type of frame has succeeded or failed.
