A method is provided for sending data in a wireless ad-hoc network including a plurality of nodes (11) grouped into clusters of nodes and a plurality of wireless links connecting the plurality of nodes, where each cluster (12) ha s a designated cluster leader node (21-33). 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 between 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. Further, a node level route may be determined from the source node to the destination node along the cluster level route, and each node along the node level route may store an address o f a next node along the node level route. Additionally, the data may be transferred via the node level route based upon the stored addresses.</SDOAB >
