Claim Text:
1. A communication device that receives, via a communication network, a plurality of signals each corresponding to one of a first communication scheme and a second communication scheme, wherein each signal of the plurality of signals includes synchronization information corresponding to one of the first communication scheme and the second communication scheme, the communication device comprising: a non-transitory memory storing a program; and a hardware processor that executes the program and causes the communication device to operate as: a receiver configured to receive the plurality of signals via a frequency band within which at least a portion of a frequency band of a channel corresponding to the first communication scheme overlaps with at least a portion of a frequency band of a channel corresponding to the second communication scheme; a synchronization judgment unit that detects the synchronization information included in the signal received by the receiver; and a scheme judgment unit that, when synchronization information corresponding to the first communication scheme is detected in the signal received by the receiver, performs reception processing of the signal using the first communication scheme, and when synchronization information corresponding to the first communication scheme is not detected and synchronization information corresponding to the second communication scheme is detected in the signal received by the receiver, performs reception processing of the signal using the second communication scheme.
