  • Technique for low-overhead network state dissemination for management of mobile ad-hoc networks
    Patent number: 8179837
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure can provide an ad-hoc network having a clusterhead node and a plurality of nodes associated with the clusterhead, at least one of the plurality of nodes is a remote node and at least one is an intermediate node, the remote node can indirectly communicate with the clusterhead through the intermediate node. The remote node can also transmit network state information at a higher rate, but in lesser amounts, than the intermediate node.
