WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND WIRELESS ROUTER

摘要

In an ad-hoc wireless communication system, when there occurs a disparity in the remaining amounts of the batteries of wireless routers, it is impossible for each wireless router to change a communication route by itself. As proposed herein, in an invented multi-hop wireless network for communication via a plurality of routers, a wireless router operating intermittently changes its intermittent operation interval depending on its circumstances by its own judgment.

主权项

1. A wireless communication system for multi-hop communication through an ad-hoc network, the wireless communication system including a plurality of wireless routers and at least one terminal,
wherein the each wireless router includes a battery, a detection means for detecting the battery state, a table providing information on its own intermittent operation interval of the wireless router, and a control device that controls communication, wherein the intermittent operation interval in the table is set so that, based on communication environment of the wireless router, including the station's battery state, the intermittent operation interval should be set shorter for a wireless router having a better communication environment, and wherein the each wireless router sets or changes its intermittent operation interval, based on its communication environment and information in the table, and forwards communication information from the terminal during the intermittent operation.
