Abstract
A sensor node executes any one among a first operation by which another sensor node is requested to execute data process and if the request is not accepted the sensor node starts executing the data processing after waiting for charging and a second operation by which the sensor node starts executing the data processing after waiting for charging, without requesting the data processing to be executed. The sensor node compares an expected value of a first time that elapses until execution is started by the sensor node or the other sensor node when the first operation is executed, and a second time that elapses until execution is started by the sensor node when the second operation is executed. Based on the comparison result, the sensor node executes among the first operation and the second operation, the operation for which the time that elapses until execution is started is shorter.
