Abstract
When a wireless communication apparatus capable of directly communicating with another communication apparatus performs communication via an access point, the wireless communication apparatus shares communication setting information with the other communication apparatus, the communication setting information being information for performing direct communication with the other communication apparatus without using that access point. If a radar signal is detected during communication with the other communication apparatus via the access point, switching to direct communication with the other communication apparatus is made based on the shared communication setting information.
Claims22
A wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a computer-readable memory constructed to store computer-executable instructions implementing process steps;
- and
- at least one processor constructed to execute the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory,
- wherein the process steps implemented by the instructions stored in the memory comprise:
- sharing communication setting information with another communication apparatus, the communication setting information being information for performing direct communication with the other communication apparatus without using a base station;
- detecting a radar signal;
- and
- switching to direct communication with the other communication apparatus based on the shared communication setting information in the case where a radar signal is detected during communication with the other communication apparatus via the base station.
A communication method for a wireless communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- sharing communication setting information with another communication apparatus, the communication setting information being information for performing direct communication with the other communication apparatus without using a base station;
- detecting a radar signal during communication with the other communication apparatus via the base station;
- and
- switching to direct communication with the other communication apparatus in the case where a radar signal is detected.
A wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a computer-readable memory constructed to store computer-executable instructions implementing process steps;
- and
- at least one processor constructed to execute the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory,
- wherein the process steps implemented by the instructions stored in the memory comprise:
- detecting a radar signal;
- and
- switching to direct communication with another communication apparatus based on communication setting information for performing direct communication not via a base station between the wireless communication apparatus and the other communication apparatus, which is shared with the other communication apparatus, in the case where a radar signal is detected during communication with the other communication apparatus via the base station.
A communication method for a wireless communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting a radar signal;
- and
- switching to direct communication with another communication apparatus based on communication setting information for performing direct communication not via a base station between the wireless communication apparatus and the other communication apparatus, which is shared with the other communication apparatus, in the case where a radar signal is detected during communication with the other communication apparatus via the base station.
