Abstract: An adaptive, deterministic approach for updating network routing information is disclosed. From among a set of routers, each of which is associated with an amount of time relative to a destination, the router that is associated with the lowest amount of time is selected. A “forward ant” data packet, which indicates the destination, is sent to the selected router. A “backward ant” data packet is received. The “backward ant” data packet indicates an amount of time taken for the “forward ant” data packet to travel to the destination. Based on this amount of time, the amount of time that is associated with the selected router is updated. Based on information contained in the “backward ant” data packet, the routing table is updated.

The user's roaming profile is forwarded to predicted future cells before the user actually enters those cells. When the user enters a new cell, roaming is completed without communication to any other cells. Thus, handoff time is reduced and users may more seamlessly move throughout the network coverage area.
