WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD
First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus using a frequency hopping scheme, which performs wireless communication with a different wireless communication apparatus by using a plurality of frequency bands, comprising:
- an interference measurer configured to measure interference quantities showing strength of interference signals in respective frequency bands;
a hopping pattern storage configured to store a plurality of hopping patterns each having hopping densities set for the respective frequency bands, the hopping densities being the number of times that transmission is performed per unit time in the respective frequency bands;
a hopping pattern selector configured to select a hopping pattern from the hopping pattern storage on the basis of the interference quantities in the respective frequency bands;
a hopping pattern notifier configured to notify the different wireless communication apparatus of the selected hopping pattern; and
a communicator configured to communicate with the different wireless communication apparatus by using the selected hopping pattern.
