Patent ID: 7224676

Claim:
A communication method comprising: an FDD reception step for receiving a signal based on an FDD method; a first acquisition step for acquiring information of a signal based on a TDD method from the received signal based on the FDD method; and a first TDD reception step for receiving the signal based on the TDD method on the basis of the acquired information of the signal based on the TDD method, wherein the first acquisition step acquires information of a synchronization channel based on the TDD method from the received signal based on the FDD method, the first TDD reception step receives the synchronization channel on the basis of the acquired information of the synchronization channel, and the communication method further comprises: a second acquisition step for acquiring information of a code of a common control channel based on the TDD method from the received synchronization channel; an identification step for identifying the code of the common control channel on the basis of the acquired information of the code of the common control channel; a second TDD reception step for receiving the common control channel on the basis of the identified code of the common control channel; a third acquisition step for acquiring a code of a communication channel based on the TDD method from the received common control channel; and a third TDD reception step for receiving the communication channel on the basis of the acquired code of the communication channel.
