Management of the Connections of Relay Nodes to Form an AD HOC Netword

摘要

The invention relates to a relay node capable of managing the establishment of a fixed number of connections to detected neighbouring relay nodes in order to form an ad hoc network with wide coverage. The relay node comprises a means for classifying the neighbouring relay nodes according to a parameter, a means for selecting a fixed number of first classified neighbouring relay nodes and means for establishing connections between the selected neighbouring relay nodes and said relay node. The relay node also comprises a means for upgrading, before the selection of the fixed number of first neighbouring relay nodes, the neighbouring relay nodes determined as being non-accessible or accessible with upgrading in the ad hoc network from said relay node to make them able to be selected.
