Abstract
A method and system for optimizing and keeping operational a wireless link layered network in which a system control and modifying message (SCMM) is elicited from nodes receiving information packets and based upon whether the node originating the SCMM is from a link layer level which is equal to or less than the link layer level eliciting the SCMM, rerouting or adjusting future transmissions can be effected or items like a less current time at a receiving node and a most recent utilization rate of a receiving node can be adjusted, recorded or set.
Claims5
A method of preventing network congestion upon restart of a wireless link layered network comprising a plurality of transceivers at respective nodes of a plurality of link layer levels, said plurality of transceivers being configured to route communications from any node to a then central node of the network and wherein said communications are in a form of information packets transmitted from one node to another, said method comprising stratifying reestablishment of communication among said nodes whereby restart is effected layer by layer, and within each link layer level, restart time is randomized.
