Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power information acquisition device, a power information gathering system, and a communication control method that are capable of excellent communication between a master unit and a slave unit via a power line.SOLUTION: A power information acquisition device acquires power information, and comprises a communication unit for communicating with a master unit that is a transmission destination of the power information. The communication unit can communicate with the master device via another power information acquisition device. The power information acquisition device further comprises a search unit for searching for the master device or the other power information acquisition unit that should be an object device to be a direct transmission and reception destination of a communication signal by the communication unit. The search unit searches for the object device on the basis of the number of hops, i.e., the number of devices relaying the power information between the power information acquisition device including itself and the master device, and the transmission quality of the communication signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
