Method and system for establishing a queuing system inside a mesh network

摘要

Wireless mobile communication (WMC) devices located in operating proximity of each other may be enabled to form a mesh (ad hoc wireless) network. WMC devices in a mesh network may form a queuing system wherein each WMC device may store data forwarded to and/or from other WMC devices in the mesh network. Each WMC device in the mesh network may have different queuing capability based on a plurality of factors that may comprise internal factors such as processing, storage, power, and/or connectivity. The mesh network may comprise an internal addressing scheme that may enable utilization of the queuing system whether or not WMC devices in the mesh network are communicatively coupled to external networks.

1. A method comprising:
establishing, by a first wireless mobile peer communication device, a connection to a mesh network that comprises wireless mobile peer communication devices when the first wireless mobile peer communication device is in operating proximity of one or more other wireless mobile peer communication devices in the mesh network; determining, by the first wireless mobile peer communication device, availability of queuing resources within the first wireless mobile peer communication device; and queuing, by the first wireless mobile peer communication device, data received from another wireless mobile peer communication device in the first wireless mobile peer communication device based on the determined availability of the queuing resources, wherein the first wireless mobile peer communication device determines a first subset of the wireless mobile peer communication devices in the mesh network that can be utilized for queuing data sent from the first wireless mobile peer communication device, and determines a second subset of the wireless mobile peer communication devices in the mesh network for which the first wireless mobile peer communication device can be utilized for queuing data based on information derived, by the first wireless mobile peer communication device, from an internal addressing scheme unique to the mesh network.
