A communication apparatus includes a storage unit, a processing unit, and a communication unit. The storage unit includes a communication storage area for storing communication data, which stores relevant information indicating a time when the reception disabled state is resolved for each of factors of the reception disabled state. The processing unit determines a current factor of the reception disabled state and calculates a reception enabled time until being a reception enabled state by resolving the reception disabled state based on the relevant information corresponding to the determined one or more factors. When data reception from the other party is disabled, the communication unit transmits the reception enabled time calculated by the processing unit as a wait time until the communication apparatus of the other party sends a request to start communication again.
