Abstract
It is difficult in related communication apparatuses to avoid degradation of communication quality due to fading and achieve sufficient throughput performance; therefore, a communication apparatus according to an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes fade avoidance rate calculation means for calculating, from a time variation in communication quality information and a transmission pattern in transmitting a communication packet repeatedly, a fade avoidance rate of a probability that the communication packet lies outside a fade duration, with respect to each transmission pattern; throughput calculation means for calculating, from the transmission pattern and the fade avoidance rate, a throughput of the communication packet with respect to each transmission pattern; and transmission pattern determination means for determining an optimum transmission pattern, of the transmission pattern, by which the throughput is maximized.
