Furthermore, when the communication device 11a changes the wireless channel of the network 23b, the communication device 11b does not receive a response to the new authentication request. The communication device 11b determines that communication with the communication device 11a has been disconnected, and searches for a wireless channel. Therefore, by controlling the communication device 11a to forcibly end the validity period of authentication, the communication device 11b can be made to search for a wireless channel to be changed. Therefore, the communication disconnection time can be shortened.
  • the MAC unit searches for a free radio channel and notifies the change destination radio channel.
  • the authentication disconnection is transmitted to the authenticated device, so that the communication disconnection time can be shortened compared to the re-authentication.

Abstract

　Un appareil communication permettant de conserver une pluralité d'interfaces de communication sans fil est pourvu : d'une unité de traitement de communication permettant de déterminer qu'un second canal sans fil doit être changé quand un premier canal sans fil utilisé dans un premier réseau pour communiquer sur une première interface de communication sans fil est identique au second canal sans fil utilisé dans un second réseau pour communiquer sur une seconde interface de communication sans fil, d'effectuer un contrôle afin de mettre fin à la période effective d'authentification avec un autre dispositif de communication qui a été authentifié pour se connecter au second réseau, et envoyer une instruction en vue du changement du second canal sans fil en un canal sans fil différent du premier canal sans fil; et d'une unité MAC pour commuter le second canal sans fil, lors de l'instruction, depuis l'unité de traitement de communication. Par conséquent, dans l'appareil de communication permettant de conserver une pluralité d'interfaces de communication sans fil, lorsqu'il n'y a pas de réception de notification de la commutation du canal sans fil, depuis un homologue de communication, le temps nécessaire pour interrompre la communication peut être raccourci.
