Abstract
A communication apparatus receives a first trigger frame including information about orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard from an external access point external to the communication apparatus while a first mode is enabled, performs communication processing in the first mode through OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard based on information about the first trigger frame, and transmits, in a case where a second mode is enabled, a second trigger frame including information about OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard.
Claims12
A communication apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory and at least one processor, which function as:
- a first reception unit configured to receive, in a case where a wireless setting mode is enabled, information about an external access point external to the communication apparatus from a terminal apparatus via a direct connection established with the terminal apparatus without interposing an external access point;
- a first setting unit configured to enable a first mode for performing wireless communication via an external access point external to the communication apparatus;
- a second setting unit configured to enable a second mode for performing wireless communication without interposing an external access point external to the communication apparatus;
- a second reception unit configured to receive a first trigger frame including information about orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard from the external access point connected based on the information about the external access point received by the first reception unit;
- a communication unit configured to perform communication processing in the first mode through OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard based on information about the first trigger frame;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit, in a case where the second mode is enabled, a second trigger frame including information corresponding to execution of OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard.

A method for controlling a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving, in a case where a wireless setting mode is enabled, information about an external access point external to the communication apparatus from a terminal apparatus via a direct connection established with the terminal apparatus without interposing an external access point;
- enabling a first mode for performing wireless communication via an external access point external to the communication apparatus;
- enabling a second mode for performing wireless communication without interposing an external access point external to the communication apparatus;
- receiving a first trigger frame including information about orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard from the external access point connected based on the received information about the external access point;
- performing communication processing in the first mode through OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard based on information about the first trigger frame;
- and
- transmitting, in a case where the second mode is enabled, a second trigger frame including information corresponding to execution of OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard.
