Communication apparatus, communication method, and recording medium

A communication apparatus comprising:

• a setting unit that sets a control mode of a transmission timing of a sub frame that is transmitted from another communication apparatus, which is a communication counterpart, to the communication apparatus in the other communication apparatus to a first mode or a second mode;
• and
• a communication control unit that controls communication with the other communication apparatus on a basis of the control mode set by the setting unit,
• wherein the communication control unit performs reception processing of a sub frame transmitted at a transmission timing based on a first parameter that is provided as a notification uniquely to the other communication apparatus and a second parameter that is decided in accordance with setting unique to the communication apparatus in the first mode, and the communication control unit performs reception processing of a sub frame transmitted at a transmission timing based on the second parameter in the second mode, and
• the setting unit provides a notification of information indicating the control mode to be set and the first parameter in a case in which the first mode is to be set to the other communication apparatus.

A communication method that is executed by a processor of a communication apparatus, the method comprising:

• controlling a transmission timing of a sub frame that is transmitted to another communication apparatus, which is a communication counterpart;
• and
• setting a control mode to a first mode or a second mode,
• wherein the controlling of the transmission timing includes controlling the transmission timing on a basis of a first parameter that is unique to the communication apparatus and a second parameter that is unique to the other communication apparatus in a case in which the first mode is set, and controlling the transmission timing on a basis of the second parameter in a case in which the second mode is set.

A communication method that is executed by a processor of a communication apparatus, the method comprising:

• setting a control mode of a transmission timing of a sub frame that is transmitted from another communication apparatus, which is a communication counterpart, to the communication apparatus in the other communication apparatus to a first mode or a second mode;
• and
• controlling communication with the other communication apparatus on a basis of the set control mode,
• wherein the controlling of the communication includes performing reception processing of a sub frame that is transmitted at a transmission timing based on a first parameter that is provided as a notification uniquely to the other communication apparatus and a second parameter that is decided in accordance with setting unique to the communication apparatus in the first mode, and performing reception processing of a sub frame that is transmitted at a transmission timing based on the second parameter in the second mode, and
• the setting of the control mode includes providing a notification of information that indicates the control mode to be set and the first parameter in a case in which the first mode is to be set to the other communication apparatus.

A recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program causing a computer to function as a communication apparatus comprising:

• a communication control unit that controls a transmission timing of a sub frame that is transmitted to another communication apparatus, which is a communication counterpart;
• and
• a setting unit that sets a control mode of the communication control unit to a first mode or a second mode,
• wherein the communication control unit controls the transmission timing on a basis of a first parameter that is unique to the communication apparatus and a second parameter that is unique to the other communication apparatus in a case in which the first mode is set and controls the transmission timing on a basis of the second parameter in a case in which the second mode is set.

A recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program causing a computer to function as a communication apparatus comprising:

• a setting unit that sets a control mode of a transmission timing of a sub frame that is transmitted from another communication apparatus, which is a communication counterpart, to the communication apparatus in the other communication apparatus to a first mode or a second mode;
• and
• a communication control unit that controls communication with the other communication apparatus on a basis of the control mode set by the setting unit,
• wherein the communication control unit performs reception processing of a sub frame transmitted at a transmission timing based on a first parameter that is provided as a notification uniquely to the other communication apparatus and a second parameter that is decided in accordance with setting unique to the communication apparatus in the first mode, and the communication control unit performs reception processing of a sub frame transmitted at a transmission timing based on the second parameter in the second mode, and
• the setting unit provides a notification of information indicating the control mode to be set and the first parameter in a case in which the first mode is to be set to the other communication apparatus.
