Abstract
To save power consumed due to reception of frames destined to other communication devices and enable power saving by prolonging a sleep state. A communication device is provided including a communication unit which communicates with a base station, a switching unit which switches an operation mode of the communication unit from a normal mode for communicating with the base station to a power saving mode for uncommunicating with the base station, when the communication unit receives data from the base station in a state in which the communication unit does not transmit a data transmission request to the base station, and a determination unit which determines a duration time of the power saving mode, based on a data length of the data received.
