       24 . The wireless apparatus according to  claim 21 , further comprising: 
 a second receiver which receives the information signal received based on the supplement signal by said plurality of wireless terminals; and    a supplement information signal transmitter which transmits the information signal received by said second receiver to said plurality of wireless terminals.    
   
   
       25 . The wireless apparatus according to  claim 21 , further comprising: 
 a second receiver which receives at least part of information signal to be received by at least one of said plurality of wireless terminals; and    a supplement information signal transmitter which transmits the information signal received by said information signal receiver to the corresponding wireless terminal, based on the supplement signal.    
   
   
       26 . The wireless apparatus according to  claim 21 , further comprising: 
 a distributed wireless network information signal transmitter which transmits information signal necessary to form a distributed wireless network, to surrounding wireless terminals including said plurality of wireless terminals, by every a prescribed time.    
   
   
       27 . The wireless apparatus according to  claim 21 , further comprising: 
 a detector which detects a state of forming a distributed wireless network; and    a display unit which displays information relating to the state of forming the distributed wireless network.    
   
   
       28 . A wireless terminal configured to perform wireless communication with a wireless apparatus which transmits a supplement signal necessary to supplement a received signal, comprising: 
 a transmitter which transmits an evaluation signal relating to the received signal to said wireless apparatus;    a first receiver which receives the supplement signal; and    a second receiver which receives information signal based on the supplement signal,    wherein said evaluation signal is a signal indicative of at least one of deficient part of the received information signal, propagation environment and terminal capability; and    the supplement signal is a signal which indicates to receive information signal instead of an other wireless terminal which cannot correctly receive the information signal when it is possible to correctly receive the information signal to be received.    
   
   
       29 . The wireless terminal according to  claim 28 , further comprising a supplement information signal communication unit configured to transmit and receive the information signal received by said second receiver and the information signal received by the other wireless terminals based on the supplement signal, with the other wireless terminals to each other.  
   
   
       30 . The wireless terminal according to  claim 28 , further comprising a supplement information signal communication unit configured to transmit the information signal received by said second receiver to said wireless apparatus, and receive the information signal received by the other wireless terminals based on the supplement signal via said wireless apparatus.  
   
   
       31 . The wireless terminal according to  claim 28 , wherein the supplement signal is a signal indicative of information signal to be cooperatively received.  
   
   
       32 . The wireless terminal according to  claim 28 , further comprising a terminal information storage which stores terminal information including at least one of transmission speed, propagation environment, processing state and request information.  
   
   
       33 . A communication control method which communicates with a wireless apparatus which performs wireless communication with said wireless terminals, comprising: 
 receiving evaluation signals at a first receiver of said wireless apparatus, transmitted from the respective wireless terminals;    generating a supplement signal necessary to supplement deficient part of the received signals received at said plurality of wireless terminals, using the evaluation signal; and    transmitting said supplement signal to said plurality of wireless terminals,    wherein said evaluation signals are signals which indicate at least one of deficient part of the received information signal at the wireless terminals, propagation environment and capability of the wireless terminals; and    the supplement signal is a signal instructed to a wireless terminal capable of correctly receiving information signal, to receive the information signal instead of a wireless terminal not being able to correctly receive the information signal.    
   
   
       34 . The communication control method according to  claim 33 , wherein the supplement signal is a signal which indicates information to be cooperatively received by said plurality of wireless terminals.
