Original Abstract Submitted
A communication apparatus capable of multilink communication complying with IEEE 802.11 standard series, comprises a determination unit configured to determine, from a plurality of wireless links established with another communication apparatus, a primary link complying with the IEEE 802.11 standard series, which is a link capable of transmission of a predetermined type of a radio frame. The determination unit determines the primary link based on at least one of a first condition concerning a plurality of frequency channels corresponding to the plurality of wireless links, and a second condition concerning a radio wave status in each of the plurality of wireless links.
