Communication system, communication method, communication device, and medium with communication program stored thereon

A communication method comprising:

• configuring, by a first communication device, a first wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a first basic service set identifier (BSSID), the first BSSID being identical to a media access control (MAC) address of the first communication device;
• configuring, by a second communication device, a second wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a second BSSID, the second BSSID being identical to the MAC address of the second communication device;
• configuring the first communication device to perform reception processing of a frame in which a first identification value has been designated as a BSSID, as a valid frame, in addition to a frame in which the first BSSID has been designated as the BSSID;
• configuring the second communication device to perform reception processing of the frame in which the first identification value has been designated as the BSSID, as the valid frame, in addition to a frame in which the second BSSID has been designated as the BSSID;
• and
• transmitting, by the first communication device, a first frame in which the first identification value has been designated as the BSSID.

A communication device including a wireless communication unit, the communication device comprising:

• a module for configuring a first wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a first basic service set identifier (BSSID), the first BSSID being identical to a media access control (MAC) address of the communication device;
• a module for storing a first identification value in common to another communication device that configures a second wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a second BSSID, the second BSSID being identical to the MAC address of the another communication device;
• a module for performing reception processing of a frame in which the first identification value has been designated as a BSSID, as a valid frame, in addition to a frame in which the first BSSID has been designated as the BSSID;
• and
• a module for transmitting a first frame in which the first identification value has been designated as the BSSID.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable communication program stored thereon, the communication program being executed in a computer including a wireless communication unit, the communication program causing the computer to perform:

• configuring a first wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a first basic service set identifier (BSSID), the first BSSID being identical to a media access control (MAC) address of the computer;
• storing a first identification value in common to another communication device that configures a second wireless network together with another peripheral device or a plurality of other peripheral devices by using a second BSSID, the second BSSID being identical to the MAC address of the another communication device;
• performing reception processing of a frame in which the first identification value has been designated as a BSSID, as a valid frame, in addition to a frame in which the first BSSID has been designated as the BSSID;
• and
• transmitting a first frame in which the first identification value has been designated as the BSSID.
