  • Communication apparatus, communication method, and program
    Patent number: 10841886
    Abstract: A first communication mode and a second communication mode are switched therebetween in each cyclical time segment in which a transmission interval of a first beacon signal of another access point (a communication apparatus) is one interval. A period in the first communication mode in one time segment changes as the time segment advances. Thus, since the period in the first communication mode in one time segment changes as the time segment advances, it is easier for the period in the first communication mode and the transmission period of the first beacon signal to overlap each other.
    Type: Grant
