Abstract
A communication method for use in a communication system having a plurality of communication devices includes: a first communication device transmitting within a predefined period a connection request signal requesting a connection with another communication device; a second communication device transmitting a connection permit signal which contains the number of connection request signals received during the predefined period as the number of requesting candidates; the first communication device obtaining a transmission probability defining the probability of signal transmission such that the transmission probability decreases as the number of requesting candidates contained in the connection permit signal received from the second communication device increases; and the first communication device making a decision as to whether or not to transmit a signal out in accordance with the transmission probability at the timing that the signal can be transmitted to the second communication device.
