Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

When stored identifying information of a transmission target frame and identifying information of a received frame are equal, a node apparatus updates transmission feasibility information stored in association with the final destination of the received frame. The transmission feasibility information indicates feasibility of transmission to each of a plurality of adjacent node apparatuses being a transmission destination, and is updated so that feasibility of transmission to the transmission destination associated with the identifying information of the received frame indicates that “the transmission is infeasible”. The node apparatus transmits the received frame, when there is no adjacent apparatus to which transmission is feasible, and when the stored identifying information of the transmission target frame is equal to the identifying information of the received frame, to the adjacent node apparatus recognized as the origin in association with the identifying information of the received frame.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A node apparatus comprising: a receiver which receives a frame from arbitrary one of a plurality of adjacent node apparatuses; a first storage which stores in association with each other: frame identifying information that identifies a transmission target frame; adjacent destination node identifying information that identifies an adjacent destination node apparatus being a destination of the transmission target frame from among the plurality of adjacent…
