1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories that store one or more computer-readable instructions for causing, when executed by the one or more processors, the communication apparatus to execute a communication method comprising:
requesting, to a network, allocation of a first network slice for executing time synchronization processing required when executing a communication service executed by the communication apparatus and allocation of a second network slice for the communication service;
supplying a result of the time synchronization processing executed in the first network slice for communication in the second network slice; and
performing communication by using the result of the time synchronization processing in the second network slice,
wherein in the performing of communication, communication by the second network slice is started after the time synchronization processing has been completed.
