It becomes possible to reduce a communication disconnection time and to thereby resume communication in a short time. A wireless communication system includes first and second wireless communication apparatuses. The first wireless communication apparatus includes a plurality of communication units that perform communication in different frequency bands. The plurality of communication units transmits the same control signal and data in the different frequency bands to keep allocation of communication slots for the second wireless communication apparatus on a plurality of paths. When detecting a communication failure while connecting to and communicating with one communication unit through one path, the second wireless communication apparatus switches to another communication unit and continues the communication through another path.
