Method and process for routing and node addressing in wireless mesh networks

摘要

The algorithm proposed in this patent enables any node in a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) to be aware of all "intermediate nodes", in all possible-routes towards the "destination node". i.e. this algorithm uses a novel recursive algorithm to accumulate knowledge beyond the "neighboring nodes", as well as the sequence of all the "intermediate nodes" used to form these routes. In the dynamic topology of the WMN, this new knowledge adds value to the existing node information, and helps identify the optimum chosen route, thus achieving ubiquitous route selection.
