Abstract:
A communication apparatus communicates with another communication apparatus that can operate as a creating apparatus creating a wireless network or as a participating apparatus participating in a wireless network created by a creating apparatus, and determines, when the another communication apparatus operates as the creating apparatus, whether a number of connectable apparatuses is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. When the number of connectable apparatuses is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, the communication apparatus provides the another communication apparatus with communication parameters to be used for operating as the creating apparatus. When the number of connectable apparatuses is less than the predetermined value, the communication apparatus provides the another communication apparatus with communication parameters to be used for operating as the participating apparatus.
