Abstract
A wireless communication device according to an embodiment includes one or more hardware processors. The one or more hardware processors: collect forwarding load information about wireless communications in a wireless multi-hop network; determine, based on the forwarding load information, a degree of forwarding priority for a packet corresponding to a forwarding determination target; perform a forwarding control such that the packet corresponding to the forwarding determination target is forwarded earlier as the degree of forwarding priority is higher; and, when the packet corresponding to the forwarding determination target is forwarded, transmit the packet corresponding to the forwarding determination target by multi-cast communications or broadcast communications.
