Abstract
There is provided a packet joining method, program, and apparatus with an increased wireless utilization efficiency and a reduced packet delay. The packet joining method includes a step of performing Neighbor Discovery within a range reachable in one hop to detect neighboring audio terminals which are connectable over short-range radio and acquiring call information including audio session information such as whether the detected audio terminals are busy with respective calls and packetization period information and wireless transmission rate information, a step of selecting one as a joining destination from the list of detected connectable audio terminals on the basis of the call information by the criteria that occupancy time of wireless transmission becomes short and that a packet delay at the time of joining becomes small, a step of requesting packet joining of the selected audio terminal as the joining destination, and a step in which an audio terminal as a joining source starts a voice call upon receipt of a positive response from the audio terminal as the joining destination in response to the request for joining.
