Method of Routing a Message from a Source Node to a Destination Node on an Ad-Hoc Wireless Network, Ad-Hoc Wireless Network, and Node on an Ad-Hoc Wireless Network

摘要

"METHOD OF ROUTERING A MESSAGE FROM A SOURCE Node TO A DESTINATION Node ON AN AD-HOC WIRELESS NETWORK, AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORK AND Node ON AN AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORK". A method of routing a message from a source node to a destination node in an ad hoc wireless network consisting of a plurality of nodes, comprising the steps of transmitting a first message from the source node to the destination node, receiving the first message at the destination node, transmit a second message from the destination node in response to the first message and wherein at least one of said first message and said second message is transmitted between the source and destination nodes via a plurality of paths comprising at least one intermediate node, selecting a path for communication between the source node and the destination node using an indication of the time taken for at least one of said second and first messages to propagate between each node in each path.
