An example system includes: a search communication apparatus searching for another communication apparatus; and search subject communication apparatuses searched for by the search communication apparatus. The search communication apparatus includes a search request transmission section transmitting a search request signal. The search subject communication apparatuses each includes: a search request reception section receiving the search request signal transmitted from the search communication apparatus; a search response transmission section transmitting a search response signal as response to the search request signal received by the search request reception section, to the search communication apparatus; and a search response monitoring section monitoring the search response signal transmitted from another search subject communication apparatus to the search communication apparatus. The search response transmission section transmits, as proxy response signal, to the search communication apparatus, the search response signal transmitted from the other search subject communication apparatus and monitored by the search response monitoring section.

Communication system, communication apparatus, computer-readable storage medium having stored therein communication program, and communication method

An example communication system includes a plurality of communication apparatuses including a search communication apparatus which searches for another communication apparatus. The search communication apparatus includes a search request transmission section configured to transmit a search request signal by using a first channel. The search request signal includes information about a second channel different from the first channel.

A game apparatus receives signals from a plurality of game apparatuses. When the game apparatus has received signals from the plurality of game apparatuses, the game apparatus sorts the signals by apparatus and calculates an average RSSI value of the signals for each of the respective apparatuses. The game apparatus further calculates an average value of the calculated average RSSI values of the respective apparatuses. Then, the game apparatus determines a single icon to be displayed based on the calculated average value and causes the icon to be displayed on a screen.

Computer-readable storage medium having stored therein information processing program, information processor, information processing system, and information processing method

An example communication system includes: a search communication apparatus which searches for another communication apparatus; and a search subject communication apparatus which is searched for by the search communication apparatus. The search communication apparatus includes a search request transmitter which transmits a search request signal. The search subject communication apparatus includes: a search request receiver which receives the search request signal transmitted from the search communication apparatus; and a search response transmitter which transmits a search response signal which is a response to the search request signal received by the search request receiver, to the search communication apparatus. The search communication apparatus further includes a search response receiver which receives the search response signal transmitted from the search subject communication apparatus. The search request transmitter transmits information indicating a transmission enabled period in which the search response transmitter can transmit the search response signal.
