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:
determining as to whether a plurality of communication apparatuses support semi-orthogonal multiple access (SOMA) technique or not;
judging, based on the determination, whether to use the SOMA technique for communicating the radio frame; and
transmitting a radio frame,
wherein the radio frame includes a field common to the plurality of communication apparatuses and the field contains first information on whether the SOMA technique is used to communicate the radio frame and the radio frame includes second information indicating whether it is required to perform a Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) process.
