Communication apparatus and receiving method

摘要

A communication apparatus that performs receiving processing of data transmitted at timings of a predetermined interval, the communication apparatus having a transmitting unit configured to transmit a signal (ACK) indicating that data is successfully received when the data transmitted at an M th predetermined interval is successfully received, and a control unit configured to suspend the above receiving processing or conduct other receiving processing until the M+1 th interval after the transmission of the signal. In this way, unnecessary retransmissions are reduced whilst intermittent reception is being performed.
