Abstract:
1. A system for connecting an ad-hoc communication network to a permanent communication network via a half-duplex communication link, the system comprising: a communication device that includes a processor unit for running a routing protocol for including the communication device into the ad-hoc communication network, and a gateway device that includes a processor unit for running the routing protocol for including the gateway device into the ad-hoc communication network, the gateway device being capable of relaying data from the ad-hoc communication network to the permanent communication network via the half-duplex communication link and relaying data from the permanent communication network to the ad-hoc communication network via the half-duplex communication link, prioritizing relaying data from the ad-hoc communication network to the permanent communication network via the half-duplex communication link over relaying data from the permanent communication network to the ad-hoc communication network via the half-duplex communication link; and prioritizing relaying data from the permanent communication network to the ad-hoc communication network via the half-duplex communication link over relaying data from the ad-hoc communication network to the permanent communication network via the half-duplex communication link.
