- each wireless terminal connected to the ad hoc network performs path control before communicating with other wireless terminals.
- a wireless terminal newly connected to the ad hoc network broadcasts presence information indicating that the terminal is present on the network to neighboring terminals. Then, the adjacent terminal generates route information based on the presence information and broadcasts the generated route information to the next adjacent terminal.
- each wireless terminal measures the quality of the route between the terminal itself and the adjacent terminal, and relays only the adjacent terminal connected through the high-quality route when relaying the route information (for example, Patent Document 1). Further, for example, each wireless terminal broadcasts route information specifying a quality criterion to neighboring terminals, and the neighboring terminal does not relay the route information when the quality of the route does not satisfy the quality criterion (for example, Patent Document 2).
- the above-described conventional technology has a problem in that the amount of communication for route control increases as the number of wireless terminals connected to the ad hoc network increases, which places a load on the network. That is, as described above, each wireless terminal connected to the ad hoc network broadcasts route information to adjacent terminals and receives response information. For this reason, as the number of wireless terminals connected to the ad hoc network increases, the number of route information and response information to be transmitted increases exponentially, and the amount of communication for route control increases.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and provides a route information relay method and a wireless terminal capable of reducing the amount of communication for route control. Objective.
- each wireless terminal receives route information from a wireless terminal connected to itself.
- each wireless terminal acquires quality information indicating the quality of the route indicated by the route information for the received route information.
- Each of the wireless terminals determines, for each predetermined period, whether or not a plurality of pieces of route information having the same wireless terminal as the packet destination is received for the received route information. Subsequently, when each of the wireless terminals receives a plurality of route information having the same destination wireless terminal as a result of the determination, the wireless terminals compare the quality information for each of the plurality of received route information, As a result, route information corresponding to the quality information indicating the highest quality is selected. Thereafter, each wireless terminal relays the selected route information to wireless terminals other than the wireless terminal that transmitted the received route information, among the wireless terminals mutually connected to the own terminal.

上記した実施例1~実施例3は、ノード『a』を宛先とする経路情報のみが複数受信されている事例を説明してきたが、本発明はこれに限られるものではない。ノード各々は、宛先となるノードが同一である経路情報が複数のノード各々について複数受信されている場合には、複数のノード各々について経路情報各々を選択し、選択した経路情報各々をまとめて中継してもよい。例えば、ノード『x』が、所定の周期ごとに判定した際、ノード『a』を宛先とする複数の経路情報の他に、ノード『b』を宛先とする複数の経路情報、ノード『c』を宛先とする複数の経路情報を受信していたとする(図2を参照)。この時、ノード『x』は、ノード『a』について選択した最高品質の経路情報と、ノード『b』について選択した最高品質の経路情報と、ノード『c』について選択した最高品質の経路情報とを、まとめて中継してもよい。このように、複数のノードに関する経路情報をまとめて中継する手法は、ノードに関する経路情報を個別に中継する手法に比較して、経路制御のための通信量をさらに削減することが可能になる。
上記文書中や図面中で示した処理手順(図16~19、図22、図27など)、具体的名称、各種のデータやパラメータを含む情報については、特記する場合を除いて任意に変更することができる。また、図示した各装置の各構成要素は機能概念的なものであり、必ずしも物理的に図示(例えば、図3、図23など)の如く構成されていることを要しない。すなわち、各装置の分散・統合の具体的形態は図示のものに限られず、その全部または一部を、各種の負荷や使用状況などに応じて、任意の単位で機能的または物理的に分散・統合して構成することができる。さらに、各装置にて行なわれる各処理機能は、その全部または任意の一部が、CPUおよび当該CPUにて解析実行されるプログラムにて実現され、あるいは、ワイヤードロジックによるハードウェアとして実現され得る。
