A communication apparatus according to the invention can be applied to constitute each of relay nodes in a novel wireless communication network, in which the number of relaying stages formed with the relay nodes can be freely set without restriction by the amount of communication information to be processed, and consequently, a multistage-relayed communication extending over a long distance can be carried out to realize a long-distance communication. The communication apparatus comprises temporary and main managing portions 16 and 18 for controlling temporary and main memory means 15 and 17 and an operation control portion 20, wherein the operation control portion 20 is operative to cause the temporary and main managing portions 16 and 18 to perform control operations for transform an input data frame to be a modified data frame containing transfer mode information representing one of diffusion, percolation and convergence transfer modes determined based on original transfer mode information and particular identification information contained in the detected data frame and history information preserved in the main memory means 17, for causing the modified data frame of the diffusion or convergence transfer mode to be subjected to relay and for causing the modified data frame of the percolation transfer mode to be subjected to relay at a predetermined probability or to deletion.
