1. A communication apparatus comprising:
at least one memory that stores a set of instructions; and
at least one processing circuit;
wherein the communication apparatus is caused, by the at least one processing circuit executing the instructions and/or the at least one processing circuit itself operating, to perform operations comprising:
transmitting a trigger frame compliant with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard and including classification information for classifying one or more communication channels in a frequency domain into a plurality of resource units for simultaneous transmissions over the plurality of resource units; and
receiving data from a plurality of other communication apparatuses using the plurality of resource units,
wherein, in a case where specific information is stored as the classification information in the trigger frame, the specific information indicates that a number of tones of a resource unit which is to be used for communication by a communication apparatus which is, among the plurality of other communication apparatuses, identified based on an Association Identifier, AID, is strictly larger than 52 and strictly smaller than 106.
