Abstract:
1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising: a specific external communication section configured to communicate with a specific external communication device through a wireless communication while successively changing a communication frequency band that is a frequency band in which a communication is performed; and a communication condition recognizing section configured to recognize a communication condition in each of a plurality of frequency ranges each having a predetermined range width, wherein the specific external communication section determines, on the basis of the recognized communication condition in each of the plurality of frequency ranges, a set number of a plurality of communication planned frequency bands in each of which the specific external communication section is planned to communicate with the specific external communication device, by allocating to a part of the plurality of frequency ranges, wherein the specific external communication section communicates, in the determined communication planned frequency bands, with the specific external communication device while successively changing the communication frequency band, wherein the communication condition recognizing section recognizes, as the communication condition in each of the plurality of frequency ranges, an electric field intensity in each of the plurality of frequency ranges and a number of the communication devices communicating in each of the plurality of frequency ranges, and wherein the specific external communication section determines the set number of the plurality of communication planned frequency bands on the basis of the electric field intensity and the number of the communication devices communicating in each of the plurality of frequency ranges such that the electric field intensity takes priority over the number of the communication devices in the determination of the specific external communication section.
