US 7,610,050 B2 · System for mobile broadband networking using dynamic quality of service provisioning

Abstract

A wireless networking system uses mobile and fixed transceivers to achieve a network with changing topology. A routing process includes quality-of-service considerations in the network to allow for features such as file or other data transfer, streaming audio and video, digital telephone communications, etc. The routing process adapts to transceiver units entering, leaving, or moving within, the network. Auxiliary networks such as the Internet, campus or corporate intranets, home networks, etc., can be accessed through the wireless network. Features, designs and user interfaces for the units are described. Security and access control of media content and other data is presented.

Claims50

Dependent claims

A multihop wireless communication network, comprising:

one or more mobile radio units (MRUs) including a first node;
and
a plurality of fixed radio units (FRUs) including a second node and one or more other nodes that are adaptable to serve as intermediate nodes along a plurality of possible multihop paths that are configurable between said first and second nodes;
wherein said second node is configured to dynamically determine which multihop path of said plurality of possible multihop paths is used to transmit data packets from the first node to the second node, while the data packets are being transmitted from the first node to the second node.
