WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

A wireless communication terminal, which forms a wireless network with a plurality of other wireless communication terminals, includes a detection portion to detect a first communication management signal periodically transmitted via broadcast from another wireless communication terminal prior to communication of a data signal, a communication control portion to determine whether to transmit a second communication management signal to the wireless communication terminal to transmit the first communication management signal based on a detection status of the first communication management signal, and a wireless communication portion serving as a transmission portion to transmit the second communication management signal via unicast to the wireless communication terminal as a transmission source of the first communication management signal and as a reception portion to receive an acknowledge signal transmitted via unicast in response to the second communication management signal.
