Communication apparatus, method of controlling communication apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A communication apparatus operable to act as a master-AP in a multi-AP (access point) coordination configuration, the apparatus comprising:

• a selection unit configured to select a sounding method from a plurality of sounding method at least including a first sounding method and a second sounding method which is a method for transmitting a sounding packet for receiving a CSI report as feedback from a terminal apparatus that is connected to the communication apparatus and
• a performing unit configured to execute first sounding process in a case where the first sounding method is selected by the selection unit and execute a second sounding process in a case where the second sounding method is selected by the selection unit.

A method of controlling a communication apparatus operable to act as a master-AP in a multi-AP (access point) coordination configuration, the method comprising:

• selecting a sounding method from a plurality of sounding method at least including a first sounding method and a second sounding method which is a method for transmitting a sounding packet for receiving a CSI report as feedback from a terminal apparatus in accordance with a CSI (channel state information) calculation capability in the terminal apparatus that connected to the communication apparatus and
• transmitting a first sounding packet in a case where the first sounding method is selected and transmit a second sounding packet in a case where the second sounding method is selected.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method for controlling a communication apparatus acting as a master-AP in a multi-AP (access point) coordination configuration, the method comprising:

• selecting a sounding method from a plurality of sounding method at least including a first sounding method and a second sounding method which is a method for transmitting a sounding packet for receiving a CSI report as feedback from a terminal apparatus that connected to the communication apparatus and
• transmitting a first sounding packet in a case where the first sounding method is selected and transmit a second sounding packet in a case where the second sounding method is selected.
