Abstract
A communication device that supports first and second communication standards using an OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) technique allocates, based on a frequency resource that has been allocated for a first other communication device in accordance with the first communication standard that uses a first pattern for allocating a frequency resource, a frequency resource for a second other communication device that conforms to the second communication standard that uses a second pattern for allocating a frequency resource. The communication device specifies, from among frequency resources in the second pattern, a second frequency resource that partially or entirely overlaps with a first frequency resource that has been allocated to the first other communication device, and allocates a frequency resource that are not included in the second frequency resource in the second pattern to the second other communication device.
