Abstract:
The method of the invention envisages determining, for each packet that is to be transmitted/retransmitted, through an LLC communication protocol, which is the top sublayer of the datalink layer of the ISO-OSI model, (LLC logic) autonomously, node by node, the specific communication apparatus to be used from the ones available on the single node, to which subset of the nodes said packet is to be transmitted (routing logic), i.e., the number and the set of neighbouring nodes to which it is to be transmitted, the specific communication apparatus to be used from the multiple ones that may be available, and the maximum number of retransmissions to be made, by using a decentralized self-learning algorithm that enables each node to learn and select dynamically the best operating mode, according to the number of transmissions already made.

Claim (Index 13):
The method as per  claim 11  and  claim 7 , further characterized in that the overall cost associated to current transmission, to the nodes of the set a, of a packet that has already been transmitted s times is equal to the sum of the following three terms:\n i. the cost of transmission of a packet using the communication apparatus specified by the action a; \n ii. the cost used by the nodes of the set a to deliver the packet to destination, defined as sum of the costs of transmission of each node j belonging to the set a, each weighted with the probability of the packet sent by the node i reaching the node j (a probability that depends upon the specific communication apparatus used); and \n iii. the cost associated to the possible loss of the packet when this is rejected after the maximum number of retransmissions has been reached, said loss being defined by the product of a constant L that represents the penalty associated to the loss of the packet and the probability of the packet not being received by any of the addressee nodes.
