Abstract
A communication apparatus capable of executing communication complying with an IEEE 802.11 series standard by establishing a plurality of radio links with a partner apparatus communicates a radio frame including information for requesting not to permit transmission of all types of traffic in some radio links among the plurality of radio links, with the partner apparatus in other radio links among the plurality of radio links, and controls, based on the radio frame, to set an incommunicable state while maintaining the some radio links by not permitting transmission of all the types of traffic in the some radio links.
Claims18
A communication apparatus capable of executing communication complying with an IEEE 802.11 series standard by establishing a plurality of radio links with a partner apparatus, comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate a radio frame including information for requesting not to permit transmission of all types of traffic in some radio links among the plurality of radio links, with the partner apparatus in other radio links among the plurality of radio links;
- and
- a control unit configured to control, based on the radio frame, to set an incommunicable state while maintaining the some radio links by not permitting transmission of all the types of traffic in the some radio links.
A control method executed by a communication apparatus capable of executing communication complying with an IEEE 802.11 series standard by establishing a plurality of radio links with a partner apparatus, the control method comprising:
- communicating a radio frame including information for requesting not to permit transmission of all types of traffic in some radio links among the plurality of radio links, with the partner apparatus in other radio links among the plurality of radio links;
- and
- controlling, based on the radio frame, to set an incommunicable state while maintaining the some radio links by not permitting transmission of all the types of traffic in the some radio links.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer included in a communication apparatus capable of executing communication complying with an IEEE 802.11 series standard by establishing a plurality of radio links with a partner apparatus to:
- communicate a radio frame including information for requesting not to permit transmission of all types of traffic in some radio links among the plurality of radio links, with the partner apparatus in other radio links among the plurality of radio links;
- and
- control, based on the radio frame, to set an incommunicable state while maintaining the some radio links by not permitting transmission of all the types of traffic in the some radio links.
