1. A communication apparatus comprising:
one or more memories that store 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:
receiving a first radio frame compliant with the IEEE 802.11 standard series from a partner apparatus in communication,
wherein capability information representing an allocation scheme of a frequency resource used for OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) supported by the partner apparatus is indicated in a MAC (Medium Access Control) frame of the first radio frame,
wherein the capability information of the communication apparatus that is to be included in a second radio frame to be transmitted to the partner apparatus is determined based on the capability information of the partner apparatus included in the first radio frame received from the partner apparatus, and
wherein the capability information in the second radio frame includes information representing whether the communication apparatus that has transmitted the second radio frame supports a static allocation scheme in which the communication apparatus is notified of allocation of the frequency resource together with a corresponding identifier and the allocation of the frequency resource is designated by the corresponding identifier when transmitting a data frame.
