Abstract:
A communication relay device is assigned with a specific slot in a communication schedule divided into a plurality of time slots. The communication relay device includes: a communication controller that switches a state between an active state and a sleep state and performs communication in the active state; and a slot determiner that determines arrival of a specific slot and arrival of a relay slot that is a time slot assigned to another lower-layer communication relay device. The communication controller changes to the active state and performs a predetermined communication process if the slot determiner determines arrival of the specific slot, and changes to the active state and performs a relay process if the slot determiner determines arrival of the relay slot.

Claim (Index 4):
A wireless communication system that forms a communication network using a plurality of communication terminals, wherein\n the plurality of communication terminals include a master unit and a plurality of slave units connected to the master unit and constituting the communication network, the master unit and the plurality of slave units communicate with each other according to a communication schedule divided into a plurality of time slots, each of the plurality of slave units is assigned with a specific time slot in the plurality of time slots, the master unit communicates, in the specific time slot, with one of the slave units corresponding to the specific time slot according to the communication schedule, each of the slave units includes\n a communication controller that switches a state between an active state and a sleep state with a smaller power consumption than that in the active state and communicates with at least the master unit or another slave unit in the active state, and \n a slot determiner that determines arrival of the specific time slot and arrival of a relay time slot, the relay time slot being a time slot assigned to another lower-layer slave unit, and \n the communication controller\n changes to the active state and performs a predetermined communication process if the slot determiner determines arrival of the specific time slot, and \n changes to the active state and performs a communication relay process between the lower-layer slave unit and another higher-layer slave unit if the slot determiner determines arrival of the relay time slot.
