8. A communication method comprising, at a communication apparatus:
starting an act as a first access point managing a first basic service set, in which the first access point is identified by a first basic service set identifier,
starting an act as a second access point managing a second basic service set, in which the second access point is identified by a second basic service set identifier different from the first basic service set identifier,
transmitting a first trigger frame which triggers uplink multi user, MU, communication and includes first identification information for identifying that an address of communication which is to be triggered is an address of the first access point,
receiving, from at least one station, STA, which has received the first trigger frame in response to the first trigger frame, a frame addressed to the first access point,
transmitting a second trigger frame which triggers the uplink MU communication and includes second identification information for identifying that an address of communication which is to be triggered is an address of the second access point; and
receiving, in response to the second trigger frame, from at least one STA which has received the second trigger frame, a frame directed to the second access point,
wherein the first basic service set identifier and the second basic service set identifier are 48-bit addresses, a most significant N bit of the first basic service set identifier is equal to a most significant N bit of the second basic service set identifier, and a least significant M bit of the first basic service set identifier is different from a least significant M bit of the second basic service set identifier, and
wherein a total of the most significant N bit and the least significant M bit is 48-bit.
