Abstract

In a wireless transmission control method for controlling wireless communication access among a plurality of communication stations via wireless transmission of a control signal from a central control station to a terminal station, a communication station selected as the central control station judges a station with which each terminal station in a wireless network is capable of directly making communication. When it is detected that each terminal station is capable of directly making communication with a communication station having many more stations than those directly making wireless communication with the central control station, processing for changing the detected terminal station to the central control station is performed. Thus, when the control station is set and the access management of wireless communication is carried out under the control of the control station, the control station can be selected easily and satisfactorily.
