WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND SLOT ASSIGNMENT METHOD

摘要

A wireless communication apparatus according to an embodiment includes a transceiver and a transmission slot determiner. The transceiver transmits/receives information. The transmission slot determiner determines a transmission slot in which the transceiver transmits information, from a frame time-divided into a plurality of slots, based on the rank value of self node corresponding to the number of hops to a root node. A plurality of slot groups including a plurality of continuous slots is set in the frame. The slot groups are assigned different rank values. The transmission slot determiner selects a slot group to which the rank value of self node is assigned, and determines a transmission slot from among the slots included in the selected slot group.
