Communication device, communication control device, communication method, and communication control method

Abstract

To provide a communication apparatus that realizes data sharing and coordinate transmit of shared data. A communication apparatus that operates as an access point includes: a communicating unit configured to transmit and receive wireless signals; and a control unit configured to control communication operations in the communicating unit, the communication operations including a communication operation for sharing data to be simultaneously transmitted to a single communication terminal between adjacent access points and a communication operation for recognizing that sharing of the data has been completed. The control unit is configured to perform control when transmitting the shared data simultaneously with the adjacent access points so as to multiplex the shared data with a transmission stream addressed to another communication apparatus and transmit the shared data as a multi-user multiplexed stream.
