Abstract: A communication system is a communication system that includes first and second information processing devices. The first information processing device performs control such that a signal (which is a signal having backward compatibility) serving as an index by which the second information processing device receiving a frame stops the reception of the frame is transmitted to the second information processing device. The second information processing device performs control such that the reception of the frame is stopped based on the signal (which is a signal having backward compatibility) serving as an index by which reception of the frame is stopped when the frame transmitted from the first information processing device is received.
