Abstract

A wireless communication apparatus on the receiving side receives communication data that is a transmitted to the wireless communication apparatus using one of the plurality of channels. Subsequently, the wireless communication apparatus on the receiving side obtains channel information contained in the communication data received by the receiving unit and judges whether the obtained channel information is target information indicating a channel of a processing target. The wireless communication apparatus on the receiving side performs a receiving process on the received communication data, when the judging unit determines that the obtained channel information is the target information, performs a receiving process on the communication data received by the receiving unit and that, when the judging unit determines that the obtained channel information is not the target information, discards the received communication data.

Claims

1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:

a transmitting unit that transmits communication data to a destination node by using one of a plurality of channels;

a receiving unit that receives communication data that is transmitted to the wireless communication apparatus using one of the plurality of channels;

a judging unit that obtains channel information contained in the communication data received by the receiving unit and judges whether the obtained channel information is target information indicating a channel of a processing target; and

a reception controlling unit that, when the judging unit determines that the obtained channel information is the target information, performs a receiving process on the communication data received by the receiving unit and that, when the judging unit determines that the obtained channel information is not the target information, discards the received communication data.

2. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a channel change instructing unit that, when the communication data received by the receiving unit contains a change instruction indicating that the target information is to be changed, changes the target information to channel information indicated in the change instruction.

3. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:

a transmitting unit that transmits communication data to a destination node by using one of a plurality of channels; and

a receiving unit that receives communication data that is transmitted to the wireless communication apparatus using one of the plurality of channels, wherein

the transmitting unit appends target information indicating a channel of a processing target to the communication data and transmits the communication data to the destination node.

4. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the transmitting unit appends, to the communication data, information instructing that the target information is to be changed and transmits the communication data to the destination node.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for processing a wireless communication, the program causing a computer to execute:

transmitting communication data to a destination node by using one of a plurality of channels;

receiving communication data that is transmitted to the computer using one of the plurality of channels;

obtaining channel information contained in the communication data received at the receiving and judging whether the obtained channel information is target information indicating a channel of a processing target; and

performing a receiving process on the communication data received at the receiving when it is determined that the obtained channel information is the target information at the judging, and discarding the received communication data when it is determined that the obtained channel information is not the target information at the judging.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for processing a wireless communication, the program causing a computer to execute:

transmitting communication data to a destination node by using one of a plurality of channels; and

receiving communication data that is transmitted to the computer using one of the plurality of channels, wherein

the transmitting includes appending target information indicating a channel of a processing target to the communication data and transmitting the communication data to the destination node.

7. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, wherein the processor executes;

transmitting communication data to a destination node by using one of a plurality of channels;

receiving communication data that is transmitted to the wireless communication apparatus using one of the plurality of channels;

obtaining channel information contained in the communication data received at the receiving and judging whether the obtained channel information is target information indicating a channel of a processing target; and

performing a receiving process on the communication data received at the receiving when it is determined that the obtained channel information is the target information at the judging, and discarding the received communication data when it is determined that the obtained channel information is not the target information at the judging.

8. A wireless communication apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory, wherein the processor executes;

transmitting communication data to a destination node by using one of a plurality of channels; and

receiving communication data that is transmitted to the wireless communication apparatus using one of the plurality of channels, wherein

the transmitting includes appending target information indicating a channel of a processing target to the communication data and transmitting the communication data to the destination node.
