The present technology relates to a communication apparatus and a communication method that can improve a communication characteristic. The communication apparatus is a base station and includes a control section configured to determine, on the basis of first communication situation information regarding a communication situation of the base station and second communication situation information regarding a communication situation received from another base station, whether or not it is permissible to carry out control of a communication parameter in the base station, and determine, on the basis of the first communication situation information and the second communication situation information, whether or not it is permissible to transmit first control request information regarding a control request of a communication parameter in the other base station. The present technology can be applied, for example, to a wireless LAN system.

Communication apparatus and communication method

The present technology relates to a communication device capable of improving a system throughput. Provided is a communication device including a control unit that transmits a second signal including a transmission request for a first signal for measuring reception power or propagation loss to another communication device, receives the first signal transmitted from the other communication device, measures the reception power or the propagation loss on the basis of the received first signal, and controls transmission power on the basis of the measured reception power or propagation loss. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a wireless LAN system.
