SYSTEM AND METHOD INCLUDING DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENCE AMONG COMMUNICATION NODES

摘要

An illustrative example communication system designed according to an embodiment of this invention includes a controller and a data storage accessible by the controller. The data storage includes information indicating possible communication links among communication devices within a selected region. At least one node communicates with user devices. The at least one node has an intelligence gathering module that detects at least one signal from at least one other network device capable of communicating with user devices, and processes information regarding the at least one other network device based on the at least one detected signal. The at least one node communicates the information regarding the at least one other network device to the controller and the controller includes the information regarding the at least one other network device in the stored information of the data storage.
