Abstract
A wireless communication apparatus, includes: a collision locating section for detecting a collision and determining a collision area in which the collision occurs, according to route requests received through an ad-hoc network based on an on-demand driving routing protocol, a relay node selecting section for selecting a relay node which is located outside the collision area and turn-off of which will not influence connectivity in the ad-hoc network, and a relay node controlling section for controlling the selected relay node to turn off in response to the selection of the relay node and keeping the selected node off if the collision in the collision area is alleviated or eliminated after the selected relay node is turned off.
