Abstract: A communication apparatus acquires information about a communication-parameter setting process from a different communication apparatus and determines whether the acquired information includes identification information for identifying the different communication apparatus. If it is determined that the identification information is included, an authentication request is transmitted by unicast based on the identification information. If it is determined that the identification information is not included, the authentication request is transmitted by broadcast.

Abstract: A communication apparatus executes an authentication process with a first other communication apparatus based on information acquired from an image obtained by capturing code information of the communication apparatus and receives, from the first other communication apparatus, first information shared between the first other communication apparatus and a second other communication apparatus. The communication apparatus transmits a search signal including second information based on the received first information and has a smaller amount of information than the first information, and transmits the first information to the second other communication apparatus in a case where a response signal in response to the search signal is received from the second other communication apparatus, and then executes a setting process for setting a communication parameter for communicating with the second other communication apparatus.

Abstract: A communication apparatus operable in both a base station mode and a terminal mode, determines whether spatial reuse communication is usable in a first wireless network to be connected in the terminal mode; and decides, based on determination that the spatial reuse communication is usable in the first wireless network, to disable a function concerning the spatial reuse communication in a second wireless network established in the base station mode.

Abstract: A communication apparatus operable in both a base station mode and a terminal mode, obtains identification information of a first wireless network to be connected in the terminal mode; and establishes, when operating in the base station mode, a second wireless network having the same identification information as the obtained identification information.

Abstract: A communication apparatus, which has a first communication function for executing communication in a first communication network and a second communication function for executing communication in a second communication network, controls, in a case where the apparatus is in connection with the first communication network, based on a characteristic of the first communication network, a connection to the second communication network in a state in which the connection with the first communication network is maintained.

Abstract: A communication apparatus executes an authentication process with a first other communication apparatus based on information acquired from an image obtained by capturing code information of the communication apparatus and receives, from the first other communication apparatus, first information shared between the first other communication apparatus and a second other communication apparatus. The communication apparatus transmits a search signal including second information based on the received first information and has a smaller amount of information than the first information, and transmits the first information to the second other communication apparatus in a case where a response signal in response to the search signal is received from the second other communication apparatus, and then executes a setting process for setting a communication parameter for communicating with the second other communication apparatus.

Abstract: A communication apparatus determines whether or not to also perform communication with a secondary base station, in addition to a master base station, for the data communication, measures a first quality, which is a quality of a signal received from the master base station, and a second quality, which is a quality of a signal received from the secondary base station, and transmits a measurement report including the first quality and the second quality to the master base station in a case where it is determined to also perform communication with the secondary base station, and transmits a measurement report including the first quality and not including the second quality to the master base station in a case where it is determined not to perform communication with the secondary base station.

Abstract: A communication apparatus is provided which operates as a base station. The communication apparatus communicates with a control apparatus for controlling a network comprised of a plurality of base stations. The communication apparatus is one of the plurality of base stations that is part of the network. The communication apparatus establishes, with another base station belonging to the network, a link to be used for communication with the other base station; and notifies, in a case where a plurality of the links is established with the another base station, the control apparatus of establishment of the link.
