1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a transmission circuitry; and
a controller configured to control the transmission circuitry,
wherein the transmission circuitry is configured to
generate a packet header in compliance with an existing Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2) standard; and
generate an extended header that is separate from the packet header, wherein the extended header includes setting information indicative of one or more conditions set for data to be transmitted in a packet,
wherein the packet header includes extension mode setting information indicative of whether an extension mode using the extended header is used,
wherein the extension mode setting information is in an unused region of the packet header, the unused region defined as a region that is not used in the existing CSI-2 standard with respect to a data type, and
wherein the one or more conditions set for data to be transmitted in the packet includes the data type of the data to be transmitted in the packet.
