Patent ID: 8155027

Claim:
A method of dynamically creating a wireless network of a plurality of nodes operable to communicate with objects in operating sectors, the method comprising: determining, at a first node, a location of the first node; discovering, at a first node, unprocessed neighbor nodes within an operating range of the first node; requesting, at a first node, a link with a second node, the second node representing the nearest unprocessed neighbor node; and establishing a first wireless communication link between the first node and the second node of the plurality of nodes upon determining that a first communicative line of sight of the first wireless communication link between the respective ones of the plurality of nodes would not cross a communicative line of sight of an existing wireless communication link in the network of the plurality of nodes between two of the plurality of nodes or upon determining that the first wireless communication link would be shorter than a communicative line of sight of any existing communication link in the network of the nodes between two of the plurality of nodes that the first communicative line of sight of the first wireless communication link would cross, each of the first node and the second node having operating sectors, and each of the first node and the second node operable to wirelessly communicate with objects in each respective operating sector of the first node and second node.
