Abstract
This technology provides a way to reduce the power consumption of the STA while utilizing a multi-access point cooperative configuration. [Solution] The communication device connects to multiple access points and transmits or receives data through these multiple access points. If, while the communication device is connected to N access points, it does not meet the first condition corresponding to operating in a power-saving mode, which is a mode that consumes less power than normal mode, and having a large amount of communication with the multiple access points it is connected to, then a predetermined process is performed to reduce the number of connected access points to one or more, and less than N APs.
