1. A communication device comprising:
a plurality of wireless communication sections, each of which is configured to be capable of wirelessly transmitting and receiving a signal to and from another communication device; and
a control section configured to:
control a repetition process of repeatedly performing a measurement process, on a basis of a first parameter calculated through the measurement process, and
control a selection process of selecting a representative wireless communication section from among the plurality of wireless communication sections each time the measurement process is repeated in the repetition process,
the measurement process including transmission of a signal from the representative wireless communication section that is a wireless communication section selected from among the plurality of wireless communication sections, reception of the signal by the plurality of wireless communication sections, and calculation of the first parameter belonging to a reliability parameter with regard to at least any of the plurality of wireless communication sections, the reliability parameter serving as an indicator that indicates whether a first incoming wave is appropriate for a processing target, the first incoming wave being a signal detected as a signal that meets a predetermined detection standard among the signals received by the plurality of wireless communication sections,
wherein, in the selection process, the control section determines whether or not to change the representative wireless communication section, on a basis of a second parameter belonging to the reliability parameter calculated with regard to the representative wireless communication section.
