Abstract
According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus includes a congestion degree calculating unit and an operation mode setting unit. The congestion degree calculating unit calculates a third congestion degree related to wireless communication based on a first congestion degree of first wireless communication and a second congestion degree of second wireless communication. In the first wireless communication, peer-to-peer communication is performed directly between communication apparatuses, and in the second wireless communication, communication is performed through a wireless communication device. The operation mode setting unit switches an operation mode of the first wireless communication based on the third congestion degree to either of a mode in which the communication apparatus transmits content or a mode in which the communication apparatus receives content.
