Abstract:
1. A radio terminal for use in an ad-hoc, peer-to-peer radio system comprising a series of radio terminals, said radio terminal making at least one of an outgoing call or receiving an incoming call, and comprising transceiver means for transmitting and receiving signals from other radio terminals of said series of terminals, computer means and memory means for storing program software means therein, the improvement comprising: said memory means comprising software means for setting the power level of a transmission of control-channel messaging to be transmitted by said transceiver means; said software means further comprising means for generating routing messaging including said power level set by said means for setting for use in determining the connection path of a call; said software means further comprising means for determining the optimal connection path of an outgoing call based on least energy use, so that the least amount of energy over a selected route is chosen for completing the call; and said software means further comprising means for generating a routing table based on the class of service (COS) of data being transmitted, and for reporting at least one of the following types of COS: voice type information, data type information and video type information, whereby subsequent data packets of the same typo of COS are transmitted to the same destination on the same path.
