  • Enhanced adjacency detection protocol for wireless applications
    Patent number: 6192053
    Abstract: An Adjacency Detection Protocol (ADP) whereby a node in a wireless network may collect information about its neighbors. The collected information enables the establishment of link layer connectivity between a node and its neighbors and also is useful for translating network layer addresses into link addresses. The collected information finds further use in preventing medium contention among adjacent nodes and in handling collisions.
