Abstract
There is provided a wireless communication device forming an autonomous distributed wireless network by intermittently transmitting and receiving a predetermined communication management signal, which includes a reception portion to receive the communication management signal, an evaluation portion to evaluate a communication state of the wireless communication device in the wireless network based on a history of receiving the communication management signal by the reception portion, and a notification portion to provide a notification corresponding to an evaluation result of the communication state by the evaluation portion.
Claims13
A wireless communication device forming an autonomous distributed wireless network by intermittently transmitting and receiving a predetermined communication management signal, comprising:
- a reception portion to receive the communication management signal;
- an evaluation portion to evaluate a communication state of the wireless communication device in the wireless network based on a history of receiving the communication management signal by the reception portion;
- and
- a notification portion to provide a notification corresponding to an evaluation result of the communication state by the evaluation portion.
A communication state notification method performed in a wireless communication device forming an autonomous distributed wireless network by intermittently transmitting and receiving a predetermined communication management signal, comprising the steps of:
- receiving the communication management signal;
- evaluating a communication state of the wireless communication device in the wireless network based on a history of receiving the communication management signal;
- and
- providing a notification corresponding to an evaluation result of the communication state.
A wireless communication system including a plurality of wireless communication devices forming an autonomous distributed wireless network by intermittently transmitting and receiving a predetermined communication management signal, each wireless communication device comprising:
- a reception portion to receive the communication management signal;
- an evaluation portion to evaluate a communication state of the wireless communication device in the wireless network based on a history of receiving the communication management signal by the reception portion;
- and
- a notification portion to provide a notification corresponding to an evaluation result of the communication state by the evaluation portion.
A program causing a computer to function as a wireless communication device forming an autonomous distributed wireless network by intermittently transmitting and receiving a predetermined communication management signal, the wireless communication device comprising:
- an evaluation portion to evaluate a communication state of the wireless communication device in the wireless network based on a history of receiving the communication management signal;
- and
- a notification portion to provide a notification corresponding to an evaluation result of the communication state by the evaluation portion.
