Abstract
Whether a detected wireless network is capable of connection using a Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS) method is determined, and handover processing for switching a connection destination to the detected wireless network is performed based on the result of determination.
Claims15
A communication apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories including instructions that, when executed by the processor(s), cause the communication apparatus to:
- detect, when in connection with a first wireless network, a second wireless network different from the first wireless network;
- determine, in a case where the second wireless network is detected, whether the second wireless network is capable of connection using a Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS) method;
- determine, based on a result of the determination, whether to perform handover processing for switching a connection destination from the first wireless network to the second wireless network;
- and
- perform the handover processing in a case where the handover processing is determined to be performed.
