Node selecting method
First Claim
1. A node selecting method in which a mobile node moving among a plurality of nodes substantially uniformly dispersedly arranged selects a candidate node for next communication, characterized in that the mobile node executes:
- a first step of specifying nodes present within a communication zone of the mobile node;
a second step of counting the number of overlaps between a communication zone of the specified node and communication zones of the other specified nodes for each specified node; and
a third step of selecting, as the candidate node for communication, the specified node in which the largest number has been counted.

Abstract
A node selecting method in which a mobile node moving among a plurality of nodes substantially uniformly dispersedly arranged selects a candidate node for next communication, is characterized in that the mobile node executes a first step of specifying nodes present within the communication zone of the mobile node; a second step of counting the number of overlaps between the communication zone of the specified node and the communication zones of the other specified nodes for each specified node; and a third step of selecting, as the candidate node for communication, a specified node in which the largest number has been counted.

2. A node selecting method in which a mobile node moving among a plurality of nodes substantially uniformly dispersedly arranged selects a candidate node for next communication, characterized in that the mobile node executes:
-
a first step of specifying a neighbor node present within a communication zone of the mobile node;
a second step of specifying a neighbor node present within a communication zone of the neighbor node;
a third step of counting the number of specifications in the first and second steps for each neighbor node; and
a fourth step of selecting, as the candidate node for communication, the neighbor node in which the number of the specifications in a predetermined order is large. - View Dependent Claims (6)
