COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

The present invention sets an appropriate transmission rate at the start of communication in terminal-to-terminal communication. A communication terminal 100 includes a communication state storage unit 130 and a transmission rate control unit 140. The communication state storage unit 130 stores, in association with the identifier of an other communication device, a communication state pertaining to wireless communication with another communication device when first wireless communication is performed with the other communication device. The transmission rate control unit 140 sets, on the basis of the state of communication with the other communication device stored in the communication state storage unit 130, a transmission rate at which second wireless communication is performed with the other communication device.
