Abstract:
A communication apparatus comprises a regular optical transceiver that generates regular subcarrier signals serving as subcarrier signals, a narrowband optical transceiver capable of generating narrowband subcarrier signals serving as subcarrier signals each having a narrower frequency band than the regular subcarrier signal, and a subcarrier configuration determiner that determines the configuration of a plurality of subcarrier signals in a super-channel signal, based on information on the number of optical filter stages to pass through. The regular optical transceiver shifts the positions of the regular subcarrier signals in the super-channel signal, according to optical frequency shift amounts indicating shift amounts of the plurality of subcarrier signals represented by the configuration determined by the subcarrier configuration determiner. The narrowband optical transceiver shifts the positions of the narrowband subcarrier signals in the super-channel signal according to the optical frequency shift amounts.

Claim (Index 7):
The communication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the subcarrier configuration determiner acquires the information on the number of optical filter stages to pass through every time the transmission path is changed.
