WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus for performing a first wireless communication with a first channel having a first bandwidth, and a second wireless communication with a second channel having a second bandwidth wider than the first bandwidth and having a frequency band covering the first channel, in accordance with CSMA/CA system by a carrier sense, comprising:
- a predicting unit configured to predict a first time required until a transmission right for the first wireless communication is captured, and a second time required until a transmission right for the second wireless communication is captured, respectively;
a judging unit configured to judge that either one of the first wireless communication and the second wireless communication is recommended based upon the first time and the second time which are predicted by the predicting unit; and
a producing unit producing, when the judging unit judges that a wireless communication different from a present wireless communication is recommended, a notification frame including information indicative of the recommended wireless communication, wherein the produced notification frame is transmitted.
