BASE STATION AND TERMINAL, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BASE STATION AND TERMINAL

摘要

Provided are a base station and a terminal, wherein communication breakdown occurring when an active scan is executed is reduced. An access point (10_2) includes a DS-side interface (100_2) for performing communication with other access points (10_1, 10_3) via a distribution system (DS) medium (30) and a terminal-side interface (200_2) for generating a response frame (FR8) to a probe request frame (FR7) with an address (A100_1) as the destination and allowing the DS-side interface (100_2) to transmit the response frame (FR8) to the DS medium (30) when the probe request frame (FR7), which is a frame for searching for an access point capable of communication and includes the address (A100_1) for the DS medium (30) to identify the access point (10_1) which is in communication with a terminal (20), is received via a wireless channel (CH2) from the terminal (20) which is not in communication.
