A method to provide a wireless Internet system for the mobile environment by utilizing small coverage area mobile transceivers (500, 502, 504, 506) to pass data along a "virtual data pipe" to low power base stations (200) with ouside network connections. "Mobiles" (500, 502, 506) form the virtual data pipe allowing users a constant and maximized data rate. Low power base stations (200) will serve as "data depots" to transfer data to outside networks. All mobile transceivers (500, 502, 504, 506) and base stations (200) will be associated with unique addresses and will actively track surrounding addresses as the network changes in configuration. The data will be packetized with a mobile's address. The base stations (200) will keep a log of the last two known locations of each mobile (500, 502, 504, 506) to establish the direction of mobiles (500, 502, 504, 506) within the network. When a mobile (500, 502, 504, 506) passes a base station (200), it will deliver data bound for an outside network. The base station (200) will dump data bound for a destination mobile (500, 502, 504, 506) to the passing mobile (500, 502, 504, 506). |
