Abstract:
1. A wireless network system comprising: a wireless router client operable for broadcast communication with at least one wireless router server and at least one additional client, said server including a digital controller operably coupled to a server wireless interface operable to broadcast and receive data packets in the wireless network; said server digital controller further including a server program operable for determining an optimal route from the server to the client through at least one additional client if a direct one-hop route is not available; said client including a client digital controller operably connected to a client wireless interface and operable to a broadcast and receive data packets in the wireless network; said client digital controller further including a client program comprising instructions for determining an optimal route from the client to the server via an indirect multi-hop route through at least one additional client if a direct one hop route is not available; instructions for determining if a received data packet is not addressed to the client; and if so instructions for analyzing a data packet to determine if the data packet has been sent on a new optimal route unknown to the client and for notifying the server through the interfaces and the wireless network of the new optimal route; said server program and said client program operable together via parallel processing to determine a new optimal route by exchanging in-memory routing tree link information; said server updating its internal memory routing tree link information with the new optimal route information.
