Abstract
Identification information indicates that a communication parameter to be provided in accordance with a Device Provisioning Protocol standard is a communication parameter that allows connection processing compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard. The identification information is set in an Authentication and Key Management field, and the communication parameter that allows connection processing compliant with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard is provided.
Claims18
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a setting unit configured to set first identification information in an Authentication and Key Management field, the first identification information indicating that a communication parameter to be provided in accordance with a Device Provisioning Protocol standard is a first communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard;
- and
- a transmitting unit configured to transmit a frame to another communication apparatus, the frame including the Authentication and Key Management field having therein the first identification information set by the setting unit and the first communication parameter.
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a notifying unit configured to notify another communication apparatus of information indicating that the communication apparatus performs connection processing compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard;
- and
- a receiving unit configured to receive a frame from the other communication apparatus in accordance with a Device Provisioning Protocol standard, the frame including a communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard and an Authentication and Key Management field having identification information set therein, the identification information indicating that the communication parameter is a communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard.
A communication method comprising the steps of:
- setting first identification information in an Authentication and Key Management field, the first identification information indicating that a communication parameter to be provided in accordance with a Device Provisioning Protocol standard is a first communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard;
- and
- transmitting a frame from a communication apparatus, the frame including the Authentication and Key Management field having therein the first identification information set in the setting step and the first communication parameter.
A communication method comprising the steps of:
- notifying a counterpart apparatus of information indicating that a communication apparatus performs connection processing compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard;
- and
- receiving a frame from the counterpart apparatus in accordance with a Device Provisioning Protocol standard, the frame including a communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard and an Authentication and Key Management field having identification information set therein, the identification information indicating that the communication parameter is a communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a communication method, the communication method comprising the steps of:
- setting first identification information in an Authentication and Key Management field, the first identification information indicating that a communication parameter to be provided in accordance with a Device Provisioning Protocol standard is a first communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard;
- and
- transmitting a frame from a communication apparatus, the frame including the Authentication and Key Management field having therein the first identification information set in the setting step and the first communication parameter.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a communication method, the communication method comprising the steps of:
- notifying a counterpart apparatus of information indicating that a communication apparatus performs connection processing compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard;
- and
- receiving a frame from the counterpart apparatus in accordance with a Device Provisioning Protocol standard, the frame including a communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard and an Authentication and Key Management field having identification information set therein, the identification information indicating that the communication parameter is a communication parameter allowing connection processing compliant with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11r standard.
