In a communication control method and a mobile terminal it is possible to realize multi-hop communication having three or more hops in a routing system based on a star-type network connection topology which is more efficient than conventional table drive-type and storage transfer-type routings. An operation of relaying transfer data stored within a mobile terminal before the dissolution of s group to a mobile terminal which newly becomes a group fellow from the outside of the group is repeated any number of times by the repeated execution of the dissolution/reconfiguration of the group. Consequently, it is possible to realize multi-hop communication for relaying and transferring the transfer data even if the upper limit (two hops) of the number of relay hops in a star connection-type system is exceeded.
