<p>A system and method for determining the mobility of a node in a network, (Fig. 1), such as a wireless ad-hoc network. The node (102) includes a transceiver (110) which is adapted to communicate or attempt to communicate with at least one of the stationary other nodes in the network, and a controller (112) which is adapted to determine a mobility factor of the node based on the communication or attempted communication with the at least one stationary other node. The controller (112) is further adapted to control a rate at which the transceiver sends information pertaining to the node to at least one of the other nodes in the network based on the mobility factor. The mobility factor represents a rate of mobility of the node, and the rate at which the controller controls the transceiver to send the information is proportional to the rate of mobility.</p> |
