Abstract
When a communication is performed in a particular frequency channel included in a 6 GHz band, if a signal that is not according to the IEEE 802.11 series standard is detected in the 6 GHz band, control is performed such that a signal according to the IEEE 802.11 series standard is not allowed to be transmitted in the particular frequency channel.
Claims17
A communication apparatus comprising:
- first determination means configured to determine whether there exists a signal in a 6 GHz band that is not according to an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 series standard;
- and
- control means configured to perform control such that when the communication apparatus performs communication in a particular frequency channel included in the 6 GHz band, if the first determination means determines that there exists a signal in the 6 GHz band that is not according to the IEEE 802.11 series standard, a signal according to the IEEE 802.11 series standard is not allowed to be transmitted in the particular frequency channel.
A control method for controlling a communication apparatus, comprising:
- determining whether there exists a signal in a 6 GHz band that is not according to an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 series standard;
- and
- performing control such that when the communication apparatus performs communication in a particular frequency channel included in the 6 GHz band, if the determining indicates that there exists a signal in the 6 GHz band that is not according to the IEEE 802.11 series standard, a signal according to the IEEE 802.11 series standard is not allowed to be transmitted in the particular frequency channel.
