US Patent:

20090116393, May 7, 2009

Filed:

Sep 30, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/242747

Inventors:

Timothy J. Hughes - San Diego CA, US
Wendell Y. Kishaba - San Diego CA, US
Chau T. Trinh - Fullerton CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370238

Abstract:

In a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), multi-metric information is gathered and applied to a cost-based route calculation. In particular, each node gathers resource metrics from neighboring of nodes, along with data rate and reliability information for data links to and from the node. This information is applied to a costing algorithm such as Dykstra' Open Shortest Path First algorithm to obtain routes through the network. This approach may be adapted with suitable modifications to use with unicast traffic or with a multicast forwarding group.
