Abstract
A device, method, computer program product, and network subsystem are described for obtaining a node identifier dependent on at least a position index and a loading indicator of a mobile node and routing data through the mobile node responsive to the node identifier.
Claims45
A communication method comprising:
- obtaining a node identifier dependent on at least a position index and a loading indicator of a mobile node;
- determining a suitability of a signal route including the mobile node at least partly based upon a predictive indication of a future position of the mobile node, wherein the predictive indication of the future position is received from the mobile node;
- modifying the signal route to include a channel not previously included in the signal route based on a zone identifier prediction;
- routing data through the mobile node via the signal route to a destination node;
- updating the loading indicator of the mobile node responsive at least in part to the routing data through the mobile node via the signal route to the destination node;
- and
- broadcasting a descriptor to a destination node not yet within the signal route.

A network subsystem comprising:
- a module for obtaining a node identifier dependent on at least a position index and a loading indicator of a mobile node and for determining a suitability of a signal route including the mobile node at least partly based upon a predictive indication of a future position of the mobile node, wherein the predictive indication of the future position is received from the mobile node;
- circuitry for modifying the signal route to include a channel not previously included in the signal route based on a zone identifier prediction;
- circuitry for routing data through the mobile node via the signal route to a destination node;
- circuitry for updating the loading indicator of the mobile node responsive at least in part to the circuitry for routing data through the mobile node via the signal route to the destination node;
- and
- circuitry for broadcasting a descriptor to a destination node not yet within the signal route.
