Abstract:
The described technology is generally directed towards an autonomous topology management scheme in a wireless communications network that establishes a hierarchical structure from a peer-to-peer network without assistance from the wireless network. A group of user equipments negotiate with each other to elect a local manager that acts as a base station by which other user equipments of the group can access network resources. Described is an example voting scheme by which the negotiation process elects the local manager for a term.

Claim (Index 17):
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a radio user equipment, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:\n communicating with at least one neighboring radio user equipment to form a group comprising the radio user equipment and the at least one neighboring radio user equipment; broadcasting a self-candidacy notification that volunteers the radio user equipment as a candidate to be a local manager of the group; receiving voting data corresponding to the self-candidacy notification; and evaluating whether the voting data has elected the radio user equipment to be the local manager of the group, wherein the evaluating whether the voting data has elected the radio user equipment to be the local manager of the group comprises receiving a neighbor-candidacy notification that nominates a neighboring radio user equipment of the group as a candidate to be the local manager of the group, and sending, within a time duration, voting data in response to the receiving the neighbor-candidacy notification.
