Routing method and device of mobile ad-hoc networks

A mobile ad-hoc network comprising:

• a plurality of point of attachment (PoA) forming a coverage area, each PoA configured to provide a communication link for a mobile node;
• each PoA identifying a link quality metric for the communication link with the mobile node;
• the plurality of PoA located such that:
• when the mobile node is within the coverage area, the mobile node has at least one operational link with at least one PoA of the plurality of PoA;
• when the mobile node moves within the area of coverage, the at least one operational link is degrading and the communication link with at least one other PoA is improving;
• and
• when the mobile node has only one operational link, a travel time for the mobile node to travel between the PoA with the operational link to the at least one other PoA is less than a time for the mobile node to mark the operational link as non-operational and select the communication link as operational.
