Wireless apparatus, communication system, route cost calculation method, and storage medium

A route cost calculation method performed by each of wireless apparatuses forming a wireless network by wirelessly communicating with one another, the method comprising:

• calculating a route cost between a first other wireless apparatus and an own wireless apparatus in accordance with the number of hops and a movement cost, the number of hops being the number of relays of wireless signals by a second other wireless apparatus that can intervene as a wireless repeater between a first other wireless apparatus operating as a gateway terminal and an own wireless apparatus operating as a wireless terminal, the movement cost reflecting a cumulative value of previous movement states of the own wireless apparatus;
• and
• transmitting first route cost information on the route cost to a third other wireless apparatus that is selecting a connection destination for wireless communication with the first other wireless apparatus, wherein
• the calculating the route cost includes calculating the movement cost at a first time, based on the speed of the own wireless apparatus at the first time and the movement cost at a time before the first time.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which is executable by each of wireless apparatuses forming a wireless network by wirelessly communicating with one another, the computer program controlling the computer to execute functions of:

• calculating a route cost between a first other wireless apparatus and an own wireless apparatus in accordance with the number of hops and a movement cost, the number of hops being the number of relays of wireless signals by a second other wireless apparatus that can intervene as a wireless repeater between a first other wireless apparatus operating as a gateway terminal and an own wireless apparatus operating as a wireless terminal, the movement cost reflecting a cumulative value of previous movement states of the own wireless apparatus;
• and
• transmitting first route cost information on the route cost to a third other wireless apparatus that is selecting a connection destination for wireless communication with the first other wireless apparatus, wherein
• the calculating the route cost includes calculating the movement cost at a first time, based on the speed of the own wireless apparatus at the first time and the movement cost at a time before the first time.
