Title: Method for facilitating communication between nodes belonging to different wireless networks
Inventor: ASGARI ABOLGHASEM
IPC: H04W88/16
Filed: 2014-10-13
Abstract: Mobility in ad hoc networks can lead to frequent and unpredictable changes to topology of the network. Therefore, a first node of a first network is provided with an interface to an external network facility comprising a topology discovery module. A neighbourhood information message is submitted from the first node to the topology discovery module which provides an indication of nodes in the first wireless network with which the first node is currently able to communicate. The topology discovery module computes the topology of networks to which respective nodes belong based on neighbourhood information messages received from those nodes. The first node receives information from the external network facility for setting up a communication pathway between the first node and nodes of a second wireless network. The second wireless network is identified by the topology discovery module as having a different network topology from the first wireless network. Address conflict between the two networks for individual nodes is resolved.
