Abstract
Regarding an apparatus capable of transmitting data using a high-rate transmission channel having narrow directivity and a low-rate transmission channel having wide directivity, data is not correctly sent in some cases because a communication path for the high-rate transmission channel is easily interrupted. In contrast, it is not possible to realize sending of high-quality data using the low-rate transmission channel. The same data is simultaneously transmitted using the high-rate transmission channel and the low-rate transmission channel. The data that has been received using the high-rate transmission channel or the data that has been received using the low-rate transmission channel is selected in accordance with a state of reception using the high-rate transmission channel.
