Abstract: Suitable beam pattern control is performed while performing access control based on physical carrier sense. A communication device transmits frames having a long preamble under a state where signals will not reach unless a beam pattern is formed, thereby enabling access control based on physical carrier sense, and under a state where signals will sufficiently reach without a beam pattern being formed transmits frames having a shorter preamble, thereby suppressing transmission overhead. Also, a beam pattern and preamble type are decided based on transmission/reception history of access control following CSMA/CA procedures.
