  • Publication number: 20140286249
    Abstract: A wireless communication device that obtains a current degree of interference at each of a plurality of available channels; determines whether a wireless communication is susceptible to interference based on whether a condition corresponding to implementation of the wireless communication is satisfied; and sets a channel for the wireless communication among the plurality of available channels based on the current degree of interference at each of the plurality of available channels when it is determined that the wireless communication is susceptible to interference

  • Publication number: 20140286253
    Abstract: A channel for which connection has been established is classified into an unavailable channel or an available channel. When there are a plurality of available channels, one or more channels among the plurality of available channels is selected as a channel for which connection is to be maintained for communication.

  • Publication number: 20110280175
    Abstract: A switch switches between an external connection state where a port functions as an external-network-side port, and an internal connection state where the port functions as an internal-network-side port. A transfer process section transfers, when the switch is in the external connection state, a packet between a station belonging to a wirelessly connected internal network and a modem wiredly connected to the port, and otherwise transfers, when the switch is in the internal connection state, a packet between a station wiredly connected to the port and a network device belonging to a wirelessly connected external network.

  • Publication number: 20110283122
    Abstract: The wireless communication device includes a main body, and an accessory device connectable to the main body. The accessory device includes a power supply interface configured to supply power to the main body when the accessory device is connected to the main body. The main body includes a wireless communication interface and a secondary battery. A determination section determines whether a predetermined condition in which the main body is connected to and supplied with power from the accessory device, is satisfied. A wireless output power level determination section determines a low power level value to be used as a wireless output power level of the wireless communication interface. A wireless output control section sets the wireless output power level to a predetermined standard power level value when the predetermined condition is satisfied, and to the low power level value when the predetermined condition is not satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20070274414
    Abstract: To provide a technology for suppressing emission of stronger radio wave due to a mismatched combination of a communication device with an external antenna module. A communication device comprises: a connector that is connected to an external antenna module; a generating section that generates a transmitting signal of a specific frequency band, the transmitting signal being supplied to the antenna module via the connector; an acquiring section that acquires information relating to antenna gain from the antenna module; and a controlling section that executes predetermined processing on the basis of the information relating to antenna gain, such that strength of radio wave emitted from the antenna module responsive to the transmitting signal does not exceed an upper limit value defined for the specific frequency band.
