Abstract

A wireless communication device as an embodiment of the present invention configures a wireless mesh network with a plurality of other wireless communication devices and includes data storage and circuitry coupled with the data storage.

The data storage is configured to store data including a first data. The circuitry is configured to receive first reception data transmitted from one of the plurality of other wireless communication devices and to determine whether the first data matches with at least a part of the first reception data and to process to transmit at least a part of data stored in the data storage. The circuitry is configured not to process to transmit the first data determined to match at least the part of the first reception data.

Claims

process to transmit at least a part of data stored in the data storage,

wherein the circuitry is configured not to process to transmit the first data determined to match at least the part of the first reception data.

2. The wireless communication device according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry performs transmission processing of the first data determined not to match with at least a part of the first reception data by the circuitry.

3. The wireless communication device according to claim 1, wherein:

the data stored in the data storage includes the two first data; and

when circuitry determines that one of the first data does not match with at least a part of the first reception data and the other of the first data matches with at least a part of the first reception data, the circuitry does not transmit the data stored in the data storage.

4. The wireless communication device according to claim 2, wherein:

the first data includes information about time;

the circuitry determines whether or not the information about time is older than a predetermined time; and

the circuitry does not perform transmission processing of the first data determined not to match with at least a part of the first reception data by the circuitry and determined which is older than the predetermined time by the circuitry.

5. The wireless communication device according to claim 2, wherein:

the circuitry determines whether or not the number of times of transmission processing of the first data performed by the circuitry is larger than a first predetermined value; and

the circuitry does not perform transmission processing of the first data determined not to match with at least a part of the first reception data by the circuitry and the number of times of which is determined to be larger than the first predetermined value by the circuitry.

6. The wireless communication device according to claim 1, further comprising

transmission history information storage configured to store transmission history information about data transmission-processed by the circuitry,

wherein:
