Abstract:
A communication apparatus capable of communicating with another communication apparatus in a network conforming to NAN (Neighbor Awareness Networking), while joining a first NAN cluster included among a plurality of NAN clusters, detect an existence of a second NAN cluster included among the plurality of NAN clusters, compares an attribute value of the second NAN cluster with an attribute value of the first NAN cluster, and, when the attribute value of the second NAN cluster is lower than the attribute value of the first NAN cluster, transmits information indicating an existence of the first NAN cluster to the second NAN cluster.
