A wireless communication device is provided that is capable of improving transmission efficiency of the entire system. The wireless communication device includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit transmits and receives a signal by wireless communication. The control unit controls use of a resource used for the wireless communication by the communication unit. A part of a resource used to transmit a signal by wireless communication with a first terminal device is used as a resource used to transmit another signal different from the signal exclusively or using by non-orthogonal multiplexing, and the resource used to transmit the another signal has at least a first channel for data. The control unit controls whether the first channel in the resource used to transmit the another signal is used exclusively or used using by non-orthogonal multiplexing.
