Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A communication apparatus is capable of making wireless communication without using an access point, by using a network identifier having communication identification information identifying a class of communication setting containing an IP address and frequency information. The communication apparatus includes: a detecting unit that detects another communication apparatus causing failure of the wireless communication due to overlap of the network identifier; and a changing unit that changes the network identifier when the detecting unit detects another communication apparatus causing failure of the wireless communication. The changing unit changes the network identifier so as to change the IP address of the communication apparatus or a frequency that the communication apparatus uses.
