A communication device for communicating with a base station, the communication device comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive a system frame number from the base station, the system frame number representing a number of system frames transmitted from the base station continuously with a predetermined interval;
- obtain an extension bit by counting a lapse of the predetermined interval;
- count a number of frames using the system frame number and the extension bit, each of the frames having a shorter interval than the predetermined interval;
- and
- receive the frames from the base station.
A communication method for communicating with a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving a system frame number from the base station, the system frame number representing a number of system frames transmitted from the base station continuously with a predetermined interval;
- obtaining an extension bit by counting a lapse of the predetermined interval;
- counting, using circuitry, a number of frames using the system frame number and the extension bit, each of the frames having a shorter interval than the predetermined interval;
- and
- receiving the frames from the base station.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including executable instructions, which when executed by a computer cause the computer to execute a communication method for communicating with a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving a system frame number from the base station, the system frame number representing a number of system frames transmitted from the base station continuously with a predetermined interval;
- obtaining an extension bit by counting a lapse of the predetermined interval;
- counting a number of frames using the system frame number and the extension bit, each of the frames having a shorter interval than the predetermined interval;
- and
- receiving the frames from the base station.
