COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A communication system, a wireless communication apparatus and a method for controlling the same are provided to determine a role of an authenticator and a supplicant for an authentication with reflecting a situation of a path reaching to an authentication sever. A wireless communication apparatus includes a wireless communication data-setting-retention unit(205). A signal receiving unit receives a predetermined signal including the metric for reaching at the authentication sever as the other authentication sever metric in the other wireless communication apparatus. A controlling unit(201) determines the wireless communication apparatus as a supplicant in a mutual authentication if the self-authentication sever metric is superior than the other authentication sever metric.
