PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication method for improving the efficiency of an operation, such as authentication, required when a communication terminal newly participates in a mesh network, and to provide a mesh network system and the communication terminal. SOLUTION: A second communication terminal that has already established adjacent communication link, with at least two first communication terminals, from among a plurality of communication terminals, distributes an adjacent terminal list, including terminal identifiers of the first communication terminals along with a temporal key generated by the second communication terminal. One of the first communication terminals that has received the adjacent terminal list and the temporal key distributes adjacent registration information which is generated by using the temporal key. The other of the first communication terminals that has received both the adjacent terminal list and the adjacent registration information confirms whether the terminal identifier of one of the first communication terminals is included in the adjacent terminal list, and whether the temporal key distributed along with the adjacent terminal list matches the temporal key used for generating the adjacent registration information to authenticate one of the first communication terminals.
