Abstract:
1. A terminal apparatus connectable to a communication network comprising a plurality of different communication systems, said terminal apparatus comprising: a coexistence header generation section for generating at least a portion of a head portion of a frame used in a communication system to be suppressed from frame transmission, as a coexistence header; a coexistence header transmission section for transmitting the coexistence header generated by the coexistence header generation section in a manner which enables a different terminal apparatus, which belongs to the to-be-suppressed communication system, to receive the coexistence header; a coexistence header transmission timing determination section for determining a timing of transmitting the coexistence header; and a communication control section for causing the coexistence header transmission section to transmit the coexistence header generated by the coexistence header generation section at the timing determined by the coexistence header transmission timing determination section.
