Wireless ad hoc network for distributed overlay multi-channel media access control (MAC)

摘要

System and method for wireless ad hoc network for distributed multi-channel MAC overlay is described. In one embodiment, the system and method divides the home a single channel, and the guest plurality of channels perpendicular to the home channel, the channel frequency is defined by a wireless network protocol. Each network node in the ad hoc network, operable to over the amount of time overlapping each other and varying the individual holding the network connectivity with the other network nodes in the home channel. Furthermore, in order to increase the data throughput of the communication link on the corresponding one or more of the other network nodes in the ad hoc network, over a variable amount of time, each network node, the home and to determine when to switch and, whether or not to switch the guest channel a particular one of the guest channel from the channel.
