Abstract:
The present disclosure aims to provide a communication apparatus capable of achieving media distribution with a high quality of user experience. A communication apparatus is a communication apparatus configured to distribute media data to another communication apparatus via a plurality of lines, the apparatus including: a communication quality estimation unit configured to estimate communication qualities of the respective lines; a bit rate determination unit configured to calculate, from the estimated communication qualities of the respective lines, an index value indicating a quality of user experience when each of the lines is used and determine a bit rate of the media data based on the calculated index value; and a data allocation unit configured to allocate a data amount of the media data to the respective lines based on the estimated communication qualities of the respective lines and the bit rate that has been determined.
