In a communication system, a first wireless communication apparatuses (AP1) belonging to a communication group (BSS1), receives a connection request frame including a notifying security level from a second communication apparatus (WL13) outside of the communication group (BSS1). The first communication apparatus (AP1) stores a reference security level peculiar to the communication group (BSS1), which is selected from security levels depending on one of encryption methods including non-encryption and encryption strengths. In the first communication apparatus (AP1), the notifying security level is compared with the reference level, and a response frame including one of a connect rejection and a connection permission is described, is generated and transferred to the second communication apparatus. The connect rejection represents a rejection of connection to the second communication apparatus (WL13) and the connection permission represents a permission of connection to the second communication apparatus (WL13). <IMAGE> |
