SETUP OF A WIREBOUND NETWORK BY DETERMINING AND USING LOCAL TOPOLOGY INFORMATION

摘要

When setting up a wireless network formed of several communication terminals, it is usual for the communication terminals to be devoid of information on local topology. In large wireless mobile environment networks it is advisable to create an independent large-network setup, wherein individual communication terminals which are not yet connected and/or partial networks are integrated. The method enables automatic dynamic, large-network organization, taking into account communication terminals which are not yet connected. This is achieved by exchanging messages between the communication devices to determine local topology information independently and by integrating the thus enhanced isolated individual communication terminals and partial networks.
