Abstract
A communication apparatus performs, during establishment of connection with a base station, synchronization processing for obtaining reference time information of a time synchronization system and establishing time synchronization, sets a time interval for performing the synchronization processing based on an error of an intra-apparatus time held in the communication apparatus with respect to time information represented by the reference time information, and in a non-connected state, based on the time interval, requests the base station to cause the communication apparatus to transition to a connected state at a timing when the synchronization processing should be performed, wherein the synchronization processing is performed at a timing based on the time interval, at which the communication apparatus is operating in the connected state.
