Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 1:
2. The method of distributed automatic constructing of best available 1:1 hop links between a CRD and a DST device, through the mesh of RTDs according to claim 1, wherein:
the sub-step (c)(3) determining the evaluation accumulated TPQ value is configured to output the evaluation TPQ value formatted as a respective pair of integers, the respective pair of integers comprising a respective total hop count integer and a respective bad hop count integer,
and the method further comprises,
(d) corresponding to each instance of sub-step (c)(5) transmitting the respective next incrementing RBS, each of the respective next another at least some of the RTDs, responsive to its respective reception of the respective next incrementing RBS, performing, as a respective subsequent next incrementing RTD, steps comprising
1) extracting from the received next incrementing RBS the DST-ID, the respective next incrementing RBS sender identifier, the respective total hop count integer and the respective bad hop count integer,
2) estimating, as a respective another respective estimated path quality value, between good hop and bad hop, of the respective next incrementing RBS reception path from the respective not complete next node RTD to the respective subsequent next incrementing RTD,
3) determining, as a respective another evaluation accumulated TPQ value, a quality of a respective candidate hop path from the CRD, through the respective not complete next node RTD to the-respective subsequent next incrementing RTD, based at least in part on the respective estimated path quality value, a respective evaluation total hop counter integer value and a respective bad hop count integer value, comprises steps of:
setting the respective total hop count integer based on a summing of the one hop from the CRD to the RBS sender and the one hop from the RBS sender to the RTD, and
setting the bad hop count integer at a value based at least in part on a summing of the preceding hop sequence bad hop count integer and sub-step (c)(2) estimated path quality value.
