Abstract
The present invention provides, as one aspect, a communication apparatus which is connected with a communication bus and performs communication using Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA). The apparatus includes an edge detection section which detects an edge of data on the communication bus, and a data obtaining section which obtains data from the communication bus to determine a collision of data on the communication bus after a predetermined delay time period has passed from the time at which the edge detection section detects the edge.
