Abstract:
1. A wireless node which determines a time zone where there are sufficient wireless resources and performs reserved communications in an autonomous distributed manner, comprising: a permission zone setting unit for dividing predetermined one period into a plurality of time zones and setting at least one time zone to be a permission zone; a communication allocating unit for allocating pre-assigned total number of communication times to the permission zone; a communication time determining unit for determining a communication time of each of the allocated communications in each permission zone; a communication function unit for carrying out communication at the communication time and detecting success or failure of line connection; a unit for estimating a congestion level of the wireless resource in each permission zone based on log data of which success or failure of line connection is recorded; and an allocation revising unit for revising a part of communications allocated to a permission zone of high congestion level to another communication time zone based on an estimation result, wherein the communication time determining unit determines the communication time newly based on revised allocation and repeats such a process; wherein the permission zone setting unit divides the predetermined one period equally at random and sets at least a part of the time zone to be the permission zone.
