Abstract
There is provided a wireless communication terminal that autonomously determines whether the wireless communication terminal is in a state in which flooding should be performed or a state in which the flooding should not be performed in a wireless ad-hoc network. At each predetermined time, the wireless communication terminal that performs the flooding autonomously infers whether the wireless communication terminal is in a state in which the flooding should be performed or a state in which the flooding should not be performed from the number of flooding packets that are of a packet flooded from surrounding wireless communication terminals based on a hidden Markov model.
