COMMUNICATION METHOD, RECEIVING DEVICE AND BASE STATION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology relating to a communication method for communicating a signal in which respective slots in a communication frame include known data different only in a phase, the technology facilitating synchronous control.SOLUTION: A base station device comprises: a slot division section 1 for dividing reception data of an LTE uplink signal; a correlation calculation section 2 and correlation power calculation section 4 for calculating correlation (power) with reference data held by a reference data holding section 3, for each slot data obtained by the division; a peak position detection section 5 for detecting correlation peak positions at which the detected correlation has a peak; a peak position comparison section 6 and a slot position specification section 8 for comparing the detected respective correlation peak positions with theoretical correlation peak positions held by a theoretical peak position holding section 7 to specify slot positions in a communication frame of each slot data; and a synchronous adjustment section 9 for performing synchronous adjustment according to the specified slot positions.
