Establishing call paths between source wireless computing systems and remote wireless computing systems using intermediary computing systems

摘要

A mechanism that allows one wireless computing system to communicate with another even though they are out of range of each other's transmitter/receiver circuitry, and without requiring dedicated external equipment to facilitate the communication. Instead, intermediary wireless computing systems may facilitate the communication. Upon receiving a request to communicate with a destination wireless device, each intermediary computing system discovers available wireless communications, and forwards the communication to them. The next intermediary computing system does the same, and so on and so forth, until the destination wireless device receives the wireless communication. The response is returned via the same path in reverse. Accordingly, the source wireless computing system may discover a possible wireless path to the destination wireless device. Possible wireless paths may be added and deleted as those wireless paths are created and destroyed, respectively, due to the mobility of the wireless computing systems.
