1. A communication device that supports first and second communication standards using an OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) technique, comprising:
at least one processor that executes a set of instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed, causes the communication device to perform operations comprising:
performing resource allocation processing for allocating, based on a frequency resource that has been allocated for communication of a first other communication device in accordance with the first communication standard that uses a first pattern for allocating a frequency resource, a frequency resource for communication of a second other communication device that conforms to the second communication standard that uses a second pattern for allocating a frequency resource,
wherein in the resource allocation processing, in a case where the first other communication device and the second other communication device concurrently communicate,
processing for specifying, from among frequency resources in the second pattern, a second frequency resource that partially or entirely overlaps with a first frequency resource that has been allocated to the first other communication device in accordance with the first pattern, and
allocation processing for allocating, from among frequency resources that are not included in the specified second frequency resource in the second pattern, a frequency resource to the second other communication device,
are performed.
