Abstract: A communication system includes a first communication device that configures a first wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a first BSSID and a second communication device that configures a second wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a second BSSID. The first communication device is configured to transmit a first frame in which a first identification value has been designated as a BSSID. The first communication device and the second communication device are configured to perform reception processing of a frame in which the first identification value has been designated as the BSSID, as a valid frame.

Abstract: Based on version information owned by each of information processing apparatuses, an information processing apparatus that stores the newest version of a user application among the plurality of information processing apparatuses is specified, and an update program for updating the user application to the newest version of the user application is directly transmitted through wireless communication from the information processing apparatus that stores the newest version of the user application to an information processing apparatus that does not store the newest version of the user application among the plurality of information processing apparatuses, thereby updating the user application of an information processing apparatus performing this method among the plurality of information processing apparatuses, using the received update program.

Abstract: An example of a wireless communication system includes a master apparatus and a slave apparatus. Upon receiving a participation request from the slave apparatus, the master apparatus generates an IP address of the slave apparatus, generates an ARP table in which an IP address and a MAC address of the master apparatus are associated with each other and the IP address and a MAC address of the slave apparatus are associated with each other, and transmits the ARP table to the slave apparatus. The slave apparatus stores the received ARP table therein. When transmitting data to the master apparatus, the slave apparatus transmits the data to the master apparatus with reference to the ARP table.

Abstract: A master apparatus generates a frame encryption key by using a session ID unique to communication with a slave apparatus, and an apparatus common key common to the master apparatus and the slave apparatus, encrypts data of an encryption part of an action frame by using the frame encryption key, and transmits, by broadcast, the action frame including the encryption part. Upon receiving the action frame, the slave apparatus transmits a participation request to the master apparatus, and participates in the network of the master apparatus. Then, the master apparatus and the slave apparatus execute a communication application.

Abstract: A master apparatus includes, in an action frame for connection, acceptance policy regarding acceptance of a slave apparatus, and transmits the action frame. After establishment of connection with the slave apparatus, the master apparatus transmits a disconnection request to the slave apparatus. After having been disconnected from the master apparatus, the slave apparatus determines whether or not to reconnect to the master apparatus, on the basis of the acceptance policy included in the action frame from the master apparatus, and the disconnection request received from the master apparatus. Upon determining that reconnection is not possible, the slave apparatus does not transmit a participation request to the master apparatus.
