  • Routing in wireless networks
    Publication number: 20050249185
    Abstract: In a method for directing packets in a radio network, a route of nodes from an origin to a destination is determined according to a routing algorithm. A packet is transmitted along the route. A failure of a first node to forward the packet along the route is detected. The packet is transmitted to the destination from a second node not on the route.
