5. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case where the wireless channel is used for the particular wireless communication, and a different wireless channel is used for other wireless communications with the communication partner that is not part of the particular wireless communication, the one or more processors change the different wireless channel to the wireless channel.

6. The wireless communication device according to claim 5 , wherein

the one or more processors release setting of the different wireless channel used for the other wireless.

7. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the one or more processors

obtain identification information of the communication partner of the particular wireless communication, and channel information indicating the wireless channel,

search for the communication partner of an other wireless communication that is the other one of the first wireless communication or the second wireless communication that is not the particular wireless communication using the wireless channel indicated by the obtained channel information, based on the identification information, and

establish connection of wireless communication using the wireless channel with the found communication partner in a case where the communication partner is found.

8. A wireless communication method executed by a first wireless communication device, which causes one or more processors coupled to a memory to execute a process, the process comprising:

while performing first wireless communication with a base station using a wireless channel, performing second wireless communication, using the wireless channel without the base station, with a second wireless communication device in which the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication are performed by time division such that the base station and the second wireless device switch as being a communication partner with the first wireless communication device according to the time division to allow for the first wireless communication to be performed while performing the second wireless communication, wherein the wireless channel is selected based on the wireless channel already being used for a particular wireless communication that is one of the first wireless communication or the second wireless communication.

9. The wireless communication method according to claim 8 , wherein

in a case where the wireless channel is used for the particular wireless communication, and a different wireless channel is used for other wireless communications with the communication partner that is not part of the particular wireless communication, the one or more processors change the different wireless channel to the wireless channel.

10. The wireless communication method according to claim 9 , wherein

the one of the wireless communications, the one or more processors release setting of the different wireless channel used for the other wireless.

11. The wireless communication method according to claim 8 , wherein

the base station is a wireless LAN access point, the first wireless communication is communication in an infrastructure mode, and the second wireless communication is communication in a peer-to-peer mode.

12. The wireless communication method according to claim 8 , wherein

in a case where connection of an other wireless communication that is the other one of the first wireless communication or the second wireless communication that is not the particular wireless communication is not established, the one or more processors set the wireless channel as being used in the other one of the wireless communication.

13. A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a wireless communication program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

while performing first wireless communication with a base station using a wireless channel, directly performing second wireless communication, using the wireless channel without the base station, with a second wireless communication device in which the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication are performed by time division such that the base station and the second wireless device switch as being a communication partner with the first wireless communication device according to the time division to allow for the first wireless communication to be performed while performing the second wireless communication, wherein the wireless channel is selected based on the wireless channel already being used for a particular wireless communication that is one of the first wireless communication or the second wireless communication.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium according to claim 13 , wherein

in a case where the wireless channel is used for the particular wireless communication, and a different wireless channel is used for other wireless communications with the communication partner that is not part of the particular wireless communication, the computer changes the different wireless channel, to the wireless channel.

15. The non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium according to claim 14 , wherein

the computer releases setting of the different wireless channel used for the other wireless.

16. The non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium according to claim 13 , wherein

in a case where connection of an other wireless communication that is the other one of the first wireless communication or the second wireless communication that is not the particular wireless communication is not established, the computer sets the wireless channel as being used in the other wireless communication.
