Communication apparatus, communication method, and program

A communication method of a communication apparatus, the communication method comprising:

• a connection form determination procedure for referring to group list information indicating three or more communication apparatuses that have been set as a group for performing wireless communication, the three or more communication apparatuses including local equipment, obtaining a value indicating a degree of stability of communication between respective communication apparatuses indicated in the group list information, and determining a new connection form by using the value indicating the degree of stability of communication between the respective communication apparatuses;
• and
• a connection form change processing procedure for performing processing for causing the new connection form determined in the connection form determination procedure to be formed among respective communication apparatuses included in the group.

A program for causing an arithmetic processor that controls a communication apparatus to execute:

• a connection form determination step of referring to group list information indicating three or more communication apparatuses that have been set as a group for performing wireless communication, the three or more communication apparatuses including local equipment, obtaining a value indicating a degree of stability of communication between respective communication apparatuses indicated in the group list information, and determining a new connection form by using the value indicating the degree of stability of communication between the respective communication apparatuses;
• and
• a connection form change processing step of performing processing for causing the new connection form determined in the connection form determination step to be formed among respective communication apparatuses included in the group.
