Abstract
An image forming apparatus receives a first trigger frame including information about OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard from an external access point external to the image forming apparatus while a first mode is enabled, performs communication processing in the first mode through OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard based on information about the first trigger frame, and transmits, in a case where the a mode is enabled, a second trigger frame including information about OFDMA conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard.
Claims18
A communication apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory and at least one processor, which function as:
- a first setting unit configured to enable a first mode for performing a wireless communication via an external access point external to the communication apparatus;
- a second setting unit configured to enable a second mode for performing a wireless communication without interposing an external access point external to the communication apparatus;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit, in a case where the second mode is enabled, a trigger frame including information about orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard.
A communication method comprising:
- enabling a first mode for performing a wireless communication via an external access point external to a communication apparatus;
- enabling a second mode for performing a wireless communication without interposing an external access point external to the communication apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, in a case where the second mode is enabled, a trigger frame including information about orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions of a computer program for executing a communication method, the communication method comprising:
- enabling a first mode for performing a wireless communication via an external access point external to a communication apparatus;
- enabling a second mode for performing a wireless communication without interposing an external access point external to the communication apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, in a case where the second mode is enabled, a trigger frame including information about orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard.
