Abstract
A communication device of an embodiment includes one or more processors. The processors synchronize time between the communication device and a different communication device using data transmitted and received by time division multiple access. The processors determine the end timing of carrier-sensing in a time slot of the time division multiple access. The processors control carrier-sensing to end at a determined end timing. The processors generate data including timing information, allowing identification of the determined end timing, as data to be transmitted to the different communication device.
