主权项

1. A communication apparatus that transmits data to a reception apparatus, the communication apparatus comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive reception status information indicating reception status of data by the reception apparatus from the reception apparatus; and a transmission control unit configured to control transmission of the reception status information by the reception apparatus which is receiving data from the communication apparatus, according to the reception status information received by the reception unit, such that a first reception apparatus and a second reception apparatus of a plurality of reception apparatuses transmit the reception status information at a shorter interval while the first and second reception apparatuses are receiving data from the communication apparatus and the reception unit is receiving first reception status information from the first reception apparatus and is receiving second reception status information from the second reception apparatus in a case where a first reception status indicated by the first reception status information and a second reception status indicated by the second reception status information correspond to a higher error rate than a threshold error rate than in a case where the first and second reception statuses correspond to a lower error rate than the threshold error rate.
