Abstract:
A communication apparatus includes a transmitting function and a receiving function for a radio signal, and, while belonging to a first group of devices, activates the transmitting and receiving functions to perform communication during a first period, and deactivates the transmitting and receiving functions outside the first period. The communication apparatus determines whether or not it performs monitoring for a presence of a second group of devices during a second period, controls performing of the monitoring by activating the receiving function during the second period when it is determined that the communication apparatus performs such monitoring, and keeping the transmission and receiving functions inactive outside the first period when it is determined that the communication apparatus does not perform such monitoring, and notifies another device in the first group of information related to the second group during the first period when a presence of the second group is detected.

Claim (Index 7):
The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the determination unit further determines whether another device is to perform the monitoring or the communication apparatus is to perform the monitoring when it is notified, from the another device in the first NAN cluster, that the another device is performing the monitoring and the communication apparatus is also performing the monitoring.
