A wireless communication apparatus transmits a beacon frame during a beacon transmission interval (BTI), receives a transmission sector sweep (SSW) frame from another wireless communication apparatus, during a beamforming training (BFT) period following the BTI, extracts, in a case where information relating to a discovery request is included in the transmission SSW frame, information relating to a first transmission sector that is selected by the other wireless communication apparatus from among the transmission SSW frames, selects a second transmission sector from transmission sectors used by the other wireless communication apparatus, the transmission sectors being included in the transmission SSW frames, transmits a feedback frame including information regarding the selected second transmission sector, using the first transmission sector during the BFT period, and transmits a probe response frame including information regarding the selected second transmission sector, using the first transmission sector, during a data transmission period following the BFT period.
