Patent attributes
Frame collisions are prevented in a communication system in which wireless communication is performed in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard. A communication unit receives terminal list information including respective addresses of wireless terminals belonging to a predetermined network. In a case where a frame the destination of which is an address included in the transmitted terminal list information is received, a control unit sets a period to prohibit data transmission until communication in the predetermined networks is completed, and in a case where a frame the destination of which is another address not included in the terminal list information is received, the control unit sets a period to prohibit data communication until communication in a network to which the other address belongs is completed.
