Abstract
The present technology relates to communication apparatus and method, and a communication system that enable communication control according to a gain of an antenna element.In a communication apparatus that performs wireless communication via an antenna element, a state of a gain of the antenna element is detected, a threshold value for carrier sense is controlled on the basis of the state of the gain of the antenna element that has been detected, the carrier sense is performed to determine whether communication using the threshold value that has been set possible, and wireless communication is performed in a case where it is determined that the communication is possible. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a transmission apparatus, a reception apparatus, a transmission/reception apparatus, a communication apparatus, electronic equipment, a computer, a program, a storage medium, a system, and the like.
