Abstract
A communication device includes a wireless communication unit, an in-transmission information generating unit, and a neighboring signal presence information generating unit. The wireless communication unit transmits and receives wireless frames via an antenna. The in-transmission information generating unit generates in-transmission information representing whether or not a wireless frame is being transmitted from the antenna. The neighboring signal presence information generating unit generates neighboring signal presence information representing whether or not a signal of a predetermined level or higher is present on a wireless channel that is the same as a wireless channel of the wireless frame. The collision detection unit determines a transmission end point of the wireless frame transmitted from the wireless communication unit based on the in-transmission information, determines whether or not there is a signal of the predetermined level or higher on the wireless channel through which the wireless frame is transmitted within a period from the determined transmission end point until a first time elapses, based on the neighboring signal presence information, and determines whether or not the transmitted wireless frame collided with another wireless frame, based on the determination made based on the neighboring signal presence information.
