METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A COLLABORATIVE REPLY OVER AN AD-HOC MESH NETWORK

摘要

An approach is provided for providing a collaborative reply to a flooding message over an ad-hoc mesh network. A reply message to a flooding message is received by a wireless node within the ad-hoc network. The wireless node monitors for an acknowledgement of receipt of the reply message according to a routing table and initiates a scheduled transmission of the reply message based on the monitoring.
