Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A terminal device includes: a communication unit configured to communicatively connect with a first network using a first frequency band or a second frequency band; a detection unit configured to detect communication of a second network that is performed using the second frequency band; an interference avoidance unit configured to perform a process of avoiding radio interference by the second network; and a control unit configured to perform control such that the interference avoidance unit performs the process of avoiding radio interference by the second network band in a case that an identifier identifying communication of the second network detected by the detection unit includes a specific identifier.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A terminal device comprising: a communication unit configured to communicatively connect with a first network using a first frequency band or a second frequency band; a detection unit configured to detect communication of a second network that is performed using the second frequency band; an interference avoidance unit configured to perform a process of avoiding radio interference in the second frequency band; and a control unit configured to perform control such that the interference avoidance unit performs the process of avoiding radio interference in the second frequency band in a case that an identifier identifying communication of the second network detected by the detection unit includes a specific identifier. 2 . The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case that a first channel in the second frequency band used for communication of the first network and a second channel in the second frequency band used for communication of the second network conflict with each other, the interference avoidance unit is configured to cause the communication unit to stop using the first channel and to switch to another channel. 3 . The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein the interference avoidance unit is configured to cause the communication unit to stop using the second frequency band in a communicative connection with the first network. 4 . A communication method comprising: communicatively connecting with a first network using a first frequency band or a second frequency band; detecting communication of a second network that is performed using the second frequency band; performing a process of avoiding radio interference in the second frequency band; and performing control such that the process of avoiding radio interference in the second frequency band is performed in the interference avoidance in a case that an identifier identifying communication of the second network detected in the detection includes a specific identifier. 5 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute: communicatively connecting with a first network using a first frequency band or a second frequency band; detecting communication of a second network that is performed using the second frequency band; performing a process of avoiding radio interference in the second frequency band; and performing control such that the process of avoiding radio interference in the second frequency band is performed in the interference avoidance in a case that an identifier identifying communication of the second network detected in the detection includes a specific identifier.
