A method is provided for sending data in a wireless ad-hoc network (10) including a plurality of nodes (11) grouped into clusters of nodes (12) and a plurality of wireless links (16) connecting the plurality of nodes (11), where each cluster node (11) has a designated cluster leader node (21)-(23). 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. Furthermore, at least one cluster target node may be designated in a cluster along the cluster-level route, and a node-level route determined from the source node to the destination node including the at least one cluster target node. |
