<p>While directional communication using millimeter waves is realized, the number of communication stations through which simultaneous communication is possible is increased to increase the throughput of the entire system. A communication apparatus stores, as a stop setting person direction, a beam direction in which received electrical power when an RTS or a CTS destined for another station is received becomes a maximum and then sets a transmission stop period. Within the transmission stop period, only when the direction of a frame transmission destination is separate from the stop setting person direction, transmission of frames is performed by directing a transmission beam toward the frame transmission destination. Whereas a hidden terminal does not unnecessarily stop a frame transmission operation, the hidden terminal is not against the intention of requesting the setting of the transmission stop period.</p> |
