Abstract:
A communication apparatus according to the present disclosure functions as an access point, transmits/receives information to be shared that should be shared with another access point when a radio communication connection has been requested from a first client, and calculates, for the access point and the other access point, scores that indicate priority as a connection destination of the first client using the information to be shared. Then it is determined whether it is necessary to establish the radio communication connection with the first client based on the above scores and establishes, when it is determined that it is necessary to establish the radio communication connection, the radio communication connection with the first client.
