  • Patent number: 11490396
    Abstract: A communication apparatus that performs wireless communication obtains information of a channel with a possibility of interference in wireless communication that is output based on position information of the communication apparatus, position information of a source of a radio wave which has a possibility of interference in the wireless communication, and time information, and selects a channel to be used in the wireless communication. Whether a channel corresponding to the obtained channel information is the currently selected channel is determined, and the currently selected channel is changed to a channel other than the channel corresponding to the obtained channel information if the channel corresponding to the obtained channel information is the same channel as the currently selected channel. If communication is being performed, it is determined after the communication whether the channel corresponding to the obtained channel information is the same channel as the currently selected channel.
