Communication apparatus, method and programs

A communication apparatus for communications using a transmission scheme that is selected from a plurality of preset transmission schemes, comprising:

• measurement means for measuring at least one of transmission path properties under a measurement condition;
• measurement condition setting means for setting said measurement condition of said measurement means for said respective transmission path property in accordance with a type of transmission information;
• and
• transmission scheme selection means for prioritizing said transmission schemes based on a measurement result of said at least one of transmission path properties, and for selecting said transmission scheme to be used for communications from said plurality of preset transmission schemes in accordance with a result of said prioritization.

A communication method for communications using a transmission scheme that is selected from a plurality of preset transmission schemes, comprising:

• setting a measurement condition for measuring at least one of transmission path properties in accordance with a type of transmission information;
• measuring said at least one of transmission path properties under said measurement condition set;
• prioritizing said transmission schemes based on a measurement result of said at least one of transmission path properties;
• and
• selecting said transmission scheme to be used for communications from said plurality of preset transmission schemes in accordance with a result of said prioritization.

In a communication apparatus for communications using a transmission scheme that is selected from a plurality of preset transmission schemes, a program causing said communication apparatus to execute processing, said processing including:

• a first step for measuring at least one of transmission path properties;
• a second step for prioritizing said transmission schemes based on a measurement result of said at least one of transmission path properties using different evaluation schemes for respective types of transmission information;
• and
• a third step for selecting said transmission scheme to be used for communications from said plurality of preset transmission schemes in accordance with a result of said prioritization.
