Abstract
A communication apparatus decides whether to provide, to a receiving apparatus that receives provided communication parameters, communication parameters that have been set by a communication-parameter setting process performed with another communication apparatus. When it is determined to provide the set communication parameters, a parameter that controls sending of an informing signal is changed in order to increase the number of informing signals sent by the communication apparatus per unit time.
