MULTIPOINT RELAY SET SELECTION METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO MULTICAST CHANNEL RESERVATION IN OVERLAPPING BASIC SERVICE SETS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method and apparatus are described including communicating with neighbor nodes in a wireless network, determining one-hop neighbor nodes and two-hop neighbor nodes responsive to the communication, determining a minimum multipoint relay set responsive to the first determination and communicating over the wireless network using the minimum multipoint relay set.
