Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for executing processing based on received information conforming to IEEE 802.11n, the apparatus comprising: incident angle measuring means for acquiring a received signal and measuring an incident angle of a radio wave of the received signal; reliability estimating means for estimating reliability of a measurement result of the incident angle by the incident angle measuring means, by analyzing a state of occurrence of fading using a relationship between frequency and signal intensity of the received signal; and processing means for executing or controlling processing utilizing the measurement result of the incident angle by the incident angle measuring means, wherein the processing means executes or controls the processing utilizing the measurement result of the incident angle by the incident angle measuring means if the estimating means judges that the reliability of the measurement result of the incident angle is high, and prohibits the processing utilizing the measurement result of the incident angle by the incident angle measuring means if the estimating means judges that the reliability of the measurement result of the incident angle is low.
