<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a proxy node networking scheme in an ad hoc network. <P>SOLUTION: An ad hoc network organizational method is employable with a collection of plural nodes in a setting where there is available a current overall network topology map containing at least the identities of, and the inter-nodal communication link qualities and capabilities associated with, each of the nodes. The method involves the steps of (a) examining the topology map to determine the current pattern of possible and not-possible direct communication links between pairs of nodes, thus to detect, from an inter-nodal, inter-communication point of view, hidden nodes and non-hidden nodes, and (b) on the basis of such examining, establishing a proxy networking scheme wherein pairs of nodes which are hidden with respect to one another can nonetheless communicate with one another through at least one, intermediary, selectable proxy node which is non-hidden with respect to each of the two nodes in such a pair. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
