Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a control section, and can temporarily pause at least some of its own functions. The control section of the information processing apparatus performs control for notifying, when at least some of its own functions are to be temporarily paused, a first apparatus that has a specific function of a function temporary pause period within which at least some of functions of the first apparatus are to be temporarily paused. Further, the control section of the information processing apparatus performs control for directing, when at least some of its own functions are to be temporarily paused, a second apparatus that does not have a specific function to restrain transmission. Power consumption of the information processing apparatus can be reduced.

Abstract: A communication system includes a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus. The first information processing apparatus controls to determine an information amount to be used for a receipt acknowledgment response to packets to be transmitted to a second information processing apparatus on the basis of information relating to the packets and notifies the second information processing apparatus of that determined information amount. The second information processing apparatus controls to return the receipt acknowledgment response to the packets transmitted from the first information processing apparatus to the first information processing apparatus on the basis of the information amount notified from the first information processing apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a control section, and can temporarily pause at least some of its own functions. When the control section provided in the information processing apparatus is to temporarily pause at least some of its own functions, the control section performs control for setting a function temporary pause period within which at least some of functions of a different apparatus are to be temporarily paused. Further, the control section provided in the information processing apparatus performs control for notifying the different apparatus of the set function temporary pause period. Power consumption of the information processing apparatus can be reduced.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transmission apparatus and a transmission method, a reception apparatus and a reception method, and a communication system that make it possible to implement stabilized communication irrespective of a fluctuation of a communication environment in a WLAN (Wireless LAN, WaveLAN).
When a transmission apparatus transmits a data signal to a reception apparatus, the reception apparatus returns a response signal including a feedback parameter (FP) to the transmission apparatus. In a case where a reception situation of the reception apparatus is poor and improvement of it is necessitated on the basis of the FP, the transmission apparatus adjusts transmission power or the like to improve the reception situation of the reception apparatus. The present disclosure can be applied to a communication system in a WLAN.
