1. A wireless communication control method for controlling wireless communication access between a plurality of terminal stations via wireless transmission of a control signal from one terminal station operating as a central control station to another terminal station, comprising the steps of:

  • causing the central control station to set a frame period for executing the wireless communication in a wireless network and to set network check information in a control area of the frame period;

    selecting a terminal station as the central control station and receiving the network check information in the control area of the frame period from each of the plurality of terminal stations capable of directly making wireless communication;

    grasping a network connection state and producing a topology map based on the received network check information;

    detecting whether one of the plurality of terminal stations is capable of making wireless communication with more terminal stations than the terminal station selected as the central control station based on the produced topology map; and

    causing the terminal station selected as the central control station to perform processing for changing the detected one of the plurality of terminal stations to be the central control station.
