Abstract
A communication device includes a reference clock generator that generates a first reference clock signal, and a super frame timer that clocks a period of super frame based on the first reference clock signal generated by the reference clock generator. The communication device further includes a physical layer that performs wireless communication and generates a second reference clock signal, and a timer correcting part that corrects an error in the clocking in the super frame timer based on the first reference clock signal generated by the reference clock generator and the second reference clock signal generated by the physical layer.
Claims6
A communication device, comprising:
- a reference clock generator that generates a first reference clock signal;
- a super frame timer that clocks a period of super frame based on the first reference clock signal generated by the reference clock generator;
- a physical layer that performs wireless communication and generates a second reference clock signal;
- and
- a timer correcting part that corrects an error in the clocking in the super frame timer based on the first reference clock signal generated by the reference clock generator and the second reference clock signal generated by the physical layer.
A method of correcting a communication device, the method comprising:
- generating a first reference clock signal;
- clocking a period of super frame based on the first reference clock signal;
- performing wireless communication and generating a second reference clock signal by a physical layer;
- and
- correcting an error in the clocking based on the first reference clock signal and the second reference clock signal.
