Abstract: With respect to wireless communication apparatuses to which a plurality of clients are connected by wireless, uneven distribution of load is prevented, without monitoring the situation of the uneven distribution of the load among wireless communication apparatuses. The wireless communication apparatuses (access points) connected by wireless to the plurality of clients have a responding unit (wireless LAN unit and CPU) that responds to a connection request from a client at different response timing depending on the number of clients connected. Since the responding unit responds at different response timing depending on the number of clients connected and the wireless communication apparatus that has a small number of clients responds quickly, dispersion of the load can be achieved.

Abstract: A communication apparatus and method including scanning all of channels, specifying, based on a result of the scanning, at least other communication apparatus which is wirelessly connectable and a channel for a wireless connection to the other communication apparatus, a table based on corresponding information of a communication apparatus and a channel for a corresponding wireless connection and information of the other communication apparatus and the channel specified, and transmitting the information table to a mobile apparatus, where the mobile apparatus receives the table and controls wirelessly connecting the channel to the other communication apparatus using the table received.
