Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a communication apparatus, a communication method, a program, and a communication system that enable more reliable communication. A bus IF is constituted by a master having an initiative of communication and a slave that communicates with the master under the control of the master. Additionally, the slave is provided with a detection unit that, when detecting a change in level of a signal line representing a declaration of initiation or end of communication by the master, outputs a detection signal indicating that the change in level of the signal line representing a declaration of initiation or end of communication has been detected, and a false detection avoidance unit that invalidates output of the detection signal during a specific time slot set in advance. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a bus IF that performs communication in conformity with the I3C standard.
