Abstract
A method of radio communications and routing and connection in a mobile radio system consisting of the steps of providing nodes for transmitting and receiving signals wherein the nodes are positioned in a free form fashion within a defined area, and the routing of a communication is determined based on selecting the most desirable and normally the shortest path between the communication source and the destination drop.
Claims4
In a radio system communications system comprising a plurality of nodes, a plurality of communications channels, a method of radio communications route selection consisting of the steps of:
- a) providing nodes of at least two different types designatable such as odd and even, where odd nodes transmit on a first band of frequencies and receive on a second band of frequencies and even nodes receive on said first band and transmit on said second band;
- b) positioning said nodes in variable selected patterns;
- c) enabling radio links between nodes;
- d) transmitting routing messages between nodes;
- e) setting a threshold level for message signals received by said nodes;
- f) establishing a multiple link route thru multiple nodes based on the content of said routing messages;
- g) selecting channels in each link along a route;
- and
- h) each of said routes having an arbitrary source and each said route having a selected destination and each route not having to go through a common point.
In a radio system communications system comprising a plurality of nodes a method of providing radio communications route creation consisting of the steps of:
- a) initiating each of said routes at an arbitrary source and each said route having a selected destination and each said route not having to go through a common point;
- b) positioning said nodes in selected patterns;
- c) enabling radio links between nodes;
- d) transmitting routing messages between nodes;
- e) establishing a route thru multiple nodes based on the content of said routing messages;
- f) developing routes by combining multiple links into routes:
- g) choosing a multiple link route over other multiple link routes such that the chosen route has all of its links with a higher minimum signal strength than the minimum signal strength in the links of the other routes.
A radio communications system having a plurality of nodes and radio links between nodes, said system comprising:
- a) nodes of at least a first and second type, said nodes being capable of establishing desired communications only with a node not of its same type, and said nodes being position in any selected pattern to provide a plurality of available communications routes;
- b) multiple selectable routes between a communications originating node and a communications destination node;
- and
- c) said communications route being selected based upon signal strength, node types, and routing messages.
