Abstract

A reception unit periodically receives a packet signal from a base station apparatus in each of two or more subframes in a superframe formed by time-multiplexing the subframes. An analysis unit gives a priority order to a subframe receiving the packet signal from the base station apparatus based on the packet signal received in the reception unit. A processing unit preferentially processes the packet signal received in the subframe with a high priority order among the priority orders given in the analysis unit.

Claims

1. A terminal apparatus comprising:

a reception unit configured to periodically receive a packet signal from a base station apparatus in each of two or more subframes in a superframe formed by time-multiplexing the subframes;

an analysis unit configured to give a priority order to a subframe receiving the packet signal from the base station apparatus based on the packet signal received in the reception unit; and

a processing unit configured to preferentially process the packet signal received in the subframe with a high priority order among the priority orders given in the analysis unit.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

position information on a apparatus as a transmission source is contained in the packet signal received in the reception unit,

the terminal apparatus further comprises an acquisition unit that acquires position information on the terminal apparatus, and

the analysis unit gives priority orders based on the position information on the transmission source contained in the packet signal received in the reception unit and the position information acquired in the acquisition unit.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the terminal apparatus further comprises a measurement unit that measuring reception power per subframe, and the analysis unit gives priority orders based on the reception power measured in the measurement unit.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the analysis unit divides a plurality of subframes contained in a superframe into two or more groups, and independently gives priority orders per divided group.

5. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the processing unit sets a verification timing per subframe from the base station apparatus at a thinning rate depending on the priority order given per subframe from the base station apparatus in the analysis unit, and performs a verification processing on an electronic signature contained in the packet signal received in the subframe from the base station apparatus at the verification timing.

6. The terminal apparatus according to claim 5, wherein

the processing unit further performs a public key certificate verification processing, and performs either one of the public key certificate verification processing and the electronic signature verification processing at the verification timing.

7. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the processing unit performs the verification processing on an electronic signature contained in a packet signal, and

when the verification processing performed in the processing unit is determined to be invalid, the analysis unit lowers a priority order of a subframe receiving the packet signal among the subframes contained in a next superframe.

8. A communication apparatus comprising:

a generation unit configured to generate an electronic signature by a private key based on at least a security header and a payload;

an encryption unit configured to perform an encryption processing on at least the payload and a security footer; and

an output unit configured to output a security frame in which at least the security header, the payload and the security footer are arranged, wherein

the security header to be subjected to an electronic signature to be generated by the generation unit contains a public key certificate, and the private key corresponding to the public key certificate is used for generating the electronic signature,

the encryption unit excludes the security header from the encryption processing, and the security footer contains the electronic signature generated in the generation unit, and

the encryption processing is performed on the payload and the security footer in the security frame output from the output unit by the encryption unit.
