PURPOSE: A communication device and a method are provided to improve reliability of transmitting and receiving messages and to prevent unintended communications. CONSTITUTION: A communication device generates an information list with information on other communication devices (S101). The communication device calculates a data error detection code for detecting errors using the information list (S105, S119). The communication device generates a packet with a code for detecting data errors (S107). The communication device transmits the packet to the other communication devices (S111, S129).
