Abstract

A communication terminal, comprises: a wireless communication unit to which a plurality of channels are allocated; a channel status calculation unit that calculates, when one of the plurality of channels is set as a forwarding channel, a capacity that can be used in the one channel by the communication terminal and a capacity that can be used in the one channel by another communication terminal; and a channel selection unit that determines, when one of the plurality of channels is set as a forwarding channel, whether a capacity that can be used in the one channel by the communication terminal satisfies a required bandwidth and determines, when another communication terminal has set the one channel as a forwarding channel, whether a capacity that can be used in the one channel by the another communication terminal satisfies the required bandwidth.
