Abstract
According to one embodiment, a communication system includes first nodes and a second node constituting a multihop network in collaboration with each other. The second node is capable of communicating with a server device via a lower-level network and a mobile gateway. The server device is connected to a higher-level network. The second node manages schedule information. The schedule information contains communicable-period information that indicates a communicable period during which the gateway is present within the communication range enabling communication with the second node via the lower-level network. The second node transmits first communication data addressed to the server device. The first communication data is transmitted to the server device via the lower-level network and the gateway in the communicable period indicated by the communicable-period information.
