Abstract

A frame transmitting apparatus includes a transmitting unit which transmits, when a change is made to a value in a predetermined field of a frame, the frame including the predetermined field with the changed value a predetermined number of times in succession. A frame receiving apparatus includes a receiving unit which receives the frame and an acceptance processing unit which recognizes the value in the predetermined field of the received frame and conducts acceptance processing. The acceptance processing unit compares, when the value is different from a currently accepted value, the value with an expected value; accepts the value when the value matches the expected value; and accepts, when the value does not match the expected value, the value after receiving the same value the predetermined number of times in succession.
