Patent number: 7792050Abstract: A method for merging of ad hoc network partitions within an ad hoc network, the method includes forming a plurality of network partitions by forming a security association among each of a group of partitioned nodes. Each network partition includes a Network Identifier. A node operating within one of the network partitions receives an update message from another node, compares its current Network Identifier to the received Network Identifier; and determines whether to update to the received Network Identifier using an arbitration method when the received Network Identifier is different from the current Network Identifier.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Anthony R.
