Abstract
A communication apparatus includes: control circuitry that controls transmission/reception of a first control frame and a first data frame used for communication with another communication apparatus, and controls transmission/reception of a second control frame and a second data frame used for communication with the another communication apparatus; first radio circuitry that performs radio communication of the first control frame and the first data frame using a first omni-directional antenna; and second radio circuitry that performs radio communication of the second control frame and the second data frame using a second directional antenna. When the first radio circuitry receives, from the another communication apparatus, a WSA frame including information on the radio communication using the second radio circuitry among a plurality of the first control frames, the control circuitry determines not to perform an association procedure between the communication apparatus and the another communication apparatus based on the WSA frame.
