Abstract
A master apparatus includes, in an action frame for connection, acceptance policy regarding acceptance of a slave apparatus, and transmits the action frame. After establishment of connection with the slave apparatus, the master apparatus transmits a disconnection request to the slave apparatus. After having been disconnected from the master apparatus, the slave apparatus determines whether or not to reconnect to the master apparatus, on the basis of the acceptance policy included in the action frame from the master apparatus, and the disconnection request received from the master apparatus. Upon determining that reconnection is not possible, the slave apparatus does not transmit a participation request to the master apparatus.
