Method for determining a route for the transmission of a sequence of data packets and ad-hoc mesh network

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining a route for the transmission of a sequence of data packets between a source node (A) and a destination node (B) via a number of intermediate nodes (C) in an ad-hoc mesh network, especially a wireless ad-hoc mesh network. The method comprises the step of determining whether network coding may be performed on one or more of the number of intermediate nodes (C) during the determination of the route by a reactive route discovery protocol.
