<p>This proposed mobile ad hoc network bridging method routes packet at the data link layer instead of at the IP network layer. This method includes two major parts. The first part is a bridge election method, by which bridges are elected based on two-hop neighborhood information and the elected bridges are consistent to all nodes in the network. The second part is a packet (frame) forwarding method, by which the elected bridges are responsible for relaying frames and there is no requirement for a node to find a route before it can send data message.</p> |
