Abstract
A wireless communication network system includes a first wireless communication device; and second wireless communication devices. The first wireless communication device selects a master unit from among the second wireless communication devices, on the basis of reception quality and storage battery remaining levels, and sends, to the selected master unit, a master unit request and a storage battery remaining level threshold for the master unit. The selected second wireless communication device operates as the master unit in accordance with the master unit request, and monitors the storage battery remaining level of the selected second wireless communication device on the basis of the storage battery remaining level threshold. When the storage battery remaining level of the selected second wireless communication device does not match the storage battery remaining level threshold, the selected second wireless communication device sends a master unit change request to the first wireless communication device.
