<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless communication device capable of keeping fairness of transmission power of wireless communication devices within an ad hoc network, and capable of reducing process load and power consumption of it. <P>SOLUTION: A network controller 13 requests a route search from a route searcher 15 if there is no route information to a destination in a route information recorder 18 when requested for communication from a high-order layer processing part 14. The route searcher 15 obtains the transmission power for route searching from a route search transmission power determining part 16, based on communication data characteristics. It searches routes by normal transmission power when a communication requires real time property, but searches routes by minimum transmission power if the transmission requires no real time property. If failing in searching routes by minimum transmission power, a route search transmission power changing part 17 raises the level of transmission power and searches routes up to the normal transmission power. The route information acquired after succeeding in route search is recorded in the route information recorder 18 for each transmission power value. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
