Wireless Network Access Point Selection Based on Connectable Device Capacity

Each device autonomously determines its own maximum connectable device number and compares it with the required number of connectable devices. The device then automatically decides whether to operate as access point or terminal based on this self-assessment, eliminating the need for manual configuration or complex centralized control while ensuring network usability.

The operational role of each device (access point or terminal) is dynamically determined based on the parameter of maximum connectable device number. Devices change their operational parameters adaptively - those with sufficient capacity become access points, while those with limited capacity become terminals, optimizing network formation without manual intervention.

Before network formation occurs, each device preliminarily determines its maximum connectable device number and compares it with the required capacity. This preliminary assessment ensures that only devices with sufficient capacity are selected as access points, preventing future disconnections while maintaining automated, simple network formation.

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where devices exchange information about their maximum connectable device numbers during the network formation process. This feedback allows the network to self-select appropriate access points based on actual capacity, ensuring both simplicity and reliability without complex manual configuration.
