COMMUNICATION DEVICE, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

According to an embodiment, a communication device for dynamically building a network includes a first receiver and a first transmitter. When the communication device attempts to newly join the network, the first receiver waits for reception of a first beacon containing information for joining the network from another communication device already joining the network for a predetermined first period. When the communication device is already joining the network, the first transmitter determines a schedule indicating timings at which a plurality of communication devices already joining the network transmit first beacons so that intervals at which the communication devices transmit the first beacons in the network as a whole do not exceed the first period and transmit the first beacon according to the schedule.
