Abstract:
1. A wireless communication apparatus that relays communication between a wireless communication terminal apparatus and another communication terminal apparatus, comprising: a group managing section that stores a table indicating, for each of the wireless communication terminal apparatuses associated with the wireless communication apparatus, which one or more of groups to which the wireless communication terminal apparatus belongs; a storage section that stores data addressed to the wireless communication terminal apparatus acquired from the other communication terminal apparatus; a data storage notification signal generating section that generates a data storage notification signal indicating that data addressed to the wireless communication terminal apparatus is stored for each group based on the table; and a transmitting section that transmits the generated data storage notification signal to the wireless communication terminal apparatus at a timing shifted for each of the groups, wherein the group managing section determines whether or not the wireless communication terminal apparatus and the other communication terminal apparatus, which are associated with the wireless communication apparatus and communicating with each other, belong to the different groups separately and classifies the wireless communication terminal apparatus and the other communication terminal apparatus into the same group when the wireless communication terminal apparatus and the other communication terminal apparatus belong to the different groups separately, and wherein the data storage notification signal generating section adds information indicating priority transfer to the data storage notification signal when data addressed to the wireless communication terminal apparatus needs to be preferentially transferred.
