A wireless communication device includes a history holder configured to obtain notified timings of transmission requests when the transmission requests are notified, calculates request intervals of notifications of the transmission requests, and holds the request intervals at past n (n is an integer equal to or larger than 2) times; a timing controller configured to determine a transmission interval to the next packet transmission based on the request intervals; a transmitting/receiving unit configured to generate a packet which has time information indicating the transmission interval added to a header part of transmission data, transmits the packet to the other-party wireless communication device, and receives a packet from the other-party wireless communication device; and a communication controller configured to cause at least the transmitting/receiving unit to suspend operation during a period from when the packet is transmitted to when time of the transmission interval elapses.
