A communication device that determines a backoff time of multiband transmission is provided.
A communication device includes: a communication unit that transmits and receives wireless signals in a plurality of bands; and a control unit that controls an operation in the communication unit. The control unit sets, for each band, a first random standby time for performing transmission in each of the plurality of bands, sets a second random standby time for performing simultaneous transmission of data in two or more of the plurality of bands, and controls countdown of the second random standby time or the first random standby time of each band on the basis of a comparison between the first random standby time of each band and the second random standby time.
