Abstract:
1. In a network environment that includes a plurality of wireless computing systems and wherein at least one such system serves as a source wireless computing system from which a wireless communication is to be sent, and one such system serves as a remote wireless computing system intended to receive the wireless communication from the source wireless computing system, and wherein the source and remote wireless computing systems communicate with each other over a wireless path created by one or more intermediary wireless computing systems including a proximate wireless computing system that is most proximate the source wireless computing system in the wireless path, a method for the proximate wireless computing system facilitating wireless communication between the source wireless computing system and the remote wireless computing system by identifying a wireless path for connecting the source and remote wireless computing systems despite the source and remote wireless computing systems being out of range of each other's transmitter/receiver circuitry, the method comprising the following: a step for creating a first transmission link in a wireless path between the source and remote wireless computing systems, by performing a step for creating a next transmission link in the wireless path between the source and remote wireless computing systems, by performing
