Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a main system configured to perform first authentication processing and a subsystem configured to perform second authentication processing. The main system includes an authentication control unit configured to control the main system or the subsystem to perform authentication processing for connecting to a network. The main system includes a power saving control unit configured to control the main system to transition to a power saving state from a normal state, in which the main system performs the first authentication processing. The subsystem includes a communication unit configured to transmit and receive data through the network. The subsystem includes an event processing unit configured to, in response to occurrence of a predetermined event relating to connection to the network when the main system is in the power saving state, process the predetermined event without controlling the main system to transition to the normal state.
