Ad hoc network system and route selection method

Abstract

An ad hoc network system includes a plurality of nodes that communicate with a specific node. Each of the nodes includes a calculator and a selector. The calculator calculates a cumulative value of the number of communication nodes connected through the node by adding the numbers of communication nodes from an upstream side, which is a side closer to the specific node than the node, to the node. The selector selects a node serving as a connection destination out of the nodes located on the upstream side on the basis of the cumulative value of the number of communication nodes calculated by the calculator.
