<p>A method for sending data in a mobile ad-hoc network may include a plurality of nodes grouped into clusters of nodes and a plurality of wireless links connecting the plurality of nodes, where each cluster node has a designated cluster leader node. The method may include sending a cluster-level route request from a source node of a source cluster to a cluster leader node of the source cluster, and determining a cluster-level route through the source cluster and a destination cluster including a destination node responsive to the cluster-level route request and using a plurality of the cluster leader nodes. Furthermore, the method may also include determining node-level routes through each cluster along the cluster-level route to a cluster target node in a next cluster along the cluster-level route. Recovery for cluster-level and node-level routing errors/failures is also provided.</p> |
