Abstract:
1. A method for establishing a reliable communication between two points in a mobile wireless network, wherein said first point comprises a first mobile wireless node and said second point comprises a plurality of mobile wireless nodes, said method comprising the steps of: creating a neighbor list by each of said plurality of nodes at said second point; transmitting an alert request probe signal from said first node to said plurality of nodes at said second point; if none of the nodes at said second point can reliably receive the alert request probe signal, forming a receive group, consisting of at least some of said plurality of nodes at said second point and based on the created neighbor lists and the received probe's signal quality; choosing a controlling node from said receive group; transmitting a communication signal from the first node to the second node; receiving by each member of said receive group the communication signal; passing by each member of said received group a representation of the received communication signal to said controlling node; and combining by said controlling node the representations of the communication signal to create a reliable communication signal.
