Abstract:
A controller, which is a communication device, includes: a transfer unit including a function of transferring data received from a first terminal to another communication device via wireless communication; and a determination unit configured to determine whether first information is included in the data received by the transfer unit, the first information indicating that the data is to be multicast. The transfer unit is further configured to multicast the data to a second terminal when the determination unit determines that the first information is included in the data, the second terminal and the first terminal being different terminals.
