Abstract

There is provided a method of controlling communication of a second communication service making secondary usage of a spectrum assigned to a first communication service, with use of a communication device, including the steps of: receiving a radio signal transmitted for the first communication service in a first period on a time axis; determining a parameter value to be used for controlling communication of the second communication service based on the radio signal received in the first period; sensing a radio signal transmitted for the second communication service in a second period subsequent to the first period; and transmitting a beacon for the second communication service based on the parameter value in a third period subsequent to the second period when a radio signal for the second communication service is not detected in the second period.
