Abstract
An information processing apparatus in a mesh network, includes circuitry that, when the information processing apparatus is allocated as a root node for multicast transmission, transmits path request for multicast to other information processing apparatuses in the mesh network. The circuitry also determines a path for multicast based on responses received from the other information processing apparatuses, and performs multicast transmission of data via the determined path for multicast.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus in a mesh network, comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- when the information processing apparatus is allocated as a root node for multicast transmission:
- transmit a path request for multicast to other information processing apparatuses in the mesh network;
- determine a path for multicast based on responses received from the other information processing apparatuses;
- and
- perform multicast transmission of data via the determined path for multicast.
An information processing method for an information processing apparatus in a mesh network, comprising:
- when the information processing apparatus is allocated as a root node for multicast transmission:
- transmitting, with circuitry, a path request for multicast to other information processing apparatuses in the mesh network;
- determining, with the circuitry, a path for multicast based on responses received from the other information processing apparatuses;
- and
- performing, with the circuitry, multicast transmission of data via the determined path for multicast.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-readable instructions thereon that, when executed by an information processing apparatus in a mesh network, cause the information processing apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- when the information processing apparatus is allocated as a root node for multicast transmission:
- transmitting a path request for multicast to other information processing apparatuses in the mesh network;
- determining a path for multicast based on responses received from the other information processing apparatuses;
- and
- performing multicast transmission of data via the determined path for multicast.
