Abstract
A node performs multi-hop communication. The node includes a relay node determiner that determines a relay node from a plurality of relay node candidates having path information of a path to a master node. The relay node performs relaying. At least when communication frequencies of the relay node candidates are within a predetermined range, the relay node determiner determines the relay node so that a relay node candidate with a higher communication frequency is more likely to be determined as the relay node than a relay node candidate with a lower communication frequency.
