Abstract: A wireless terminal device (1) for use in a store-and-forward type wireless network includes a wireless communication unit (11), a memory (12), and a control unit (13). The memory (12) is coupled to the wireless communication unit (11) and is configured to store messages transferred via the wireless network. The control unit (13) is configured to adjust, based on first information, at least one of a maximum number and maximum retention time of messages stored in the memory (12). The first information relates to a degree of contribution of the wireless terminal device (1) to success in sending messages from a source node to a destination node via the wireless network. It is thus possible to provide, for example, an efficient memory control method suitable for a store-and-forward type wireless network.

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes two wireless communication units, each switching one of a VHF band and a UHF band to another to conduct wireless communication; a determination unit which determines whether or not it is necessary to change a frequency band when one of the wireless communication units uses the VHF band to conduct the wireless communication, and further determines whether or not there is a wireless communication device that becomes unable to conduct wireless communication due to using the UHF band when the change is necessary; and a communication control unit which performs control to switch the band to the UHF band when it is determined that there is no wireless communication device which becomes unable to conduct wireless communication, and to leave the band as the VHF band when it is determined that there is a wireless communication device which becomes unable to conduct wireless communication.

Abstract: The present invention is provided to implement an automated setting change of network setting items on an ad hoc network which does not have a specific base station.
