Abstract
There is provided a multi-hop relay system including a transmission node and a relay node, communicating using a flooding method. The transmission node is configured to transmit a synchronization packet used to synchronize a plurality of relay nodes. The relay node is configured to perform first reception in a first period at every first cycle corresponding to the predetermined cycle, and second reception in a second period not less than a length of the predetermined period at every second cycle longer than the first cycle. The relay node performs the second reception if the synchronization packet cannot be received by the first reception, and if the synchronization packet is received by the second reception, stops the second reception and performs the first reception if the predetermined condition is determined to be satisfied, and if not, executes synchronization recovery processing.
