A communication apparatus, comprising:
- control circuitry, which, in operation, determines one or more communication partner apparatuses that can communicate with the communication apparatus, and generates first coordination control information including information indicating the one or more communication partner apparatuses;
- transmission circuitry, which, in operation, transmits the coordination control information to at least one of the one or more communication partner apparatuses;
- and
- reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives, from at least one of the one or more communication partner apparatuses, second coordination control information including information indicating a third communication apparatus that can communicate with the at least one of the one or more communication partner apparatuses.
