Abstract

The present invention provides a terminal apparatus connectable to a communication network capable of comprising a plurality of different communication systems. The terminal apparatus comprises a coexistence header generation section of generating at least a portion of a head portion of a frame used in a communication system to be suppressed from frame transmission of the plurality of communication systems, as a coexistence header, a coexistence header transmission section of transmitting the coexistence header generated by the coexistence header generation section in a manner which enables a terminal apparatus belonging to the communication system to be suppressed to receive the coexistence header, a coexistence header transmission timing determination section of determining a timing of transmitting the coexistence header, and a communication control section of causing the coexistence header transmission section to transmit the coexistence header generated by the coexistence header generation section at the timing determined by the coexistence header transmission timing determination section.
