Abstract
A radio terminal,has a self-terminal information storing section,for storing terminal information of its own, an other terminal information storing section,for temporarily storing terminal information which is sent from other radio terminals, and a master determining section,for determining a radio terminal appropriate for being a tentative master, based on the stored terminal information. This master determining section,determines the tentative master based on the specified information of the terminal information such as transmission power, battery information and network address information. Since, if a user selects an appropriate radio terminal and starts the construction of a temporary network, the radio terminal acquires terminal information of all other terminals and determined an optimum tentative master, the network is then constructed while being the determined tentative master as a center, and communication can be conducted.
