PROCÉDÉ DE GESTION DE RÉSEAU À RÉCUPÉRATION RAPIDE POUR UN SYSTÈME DE COMMUNICATIONS SANS FIL DE FOND DE TROU

摘要

A network management technique for an acoustic communication system made up of a network of communication nodes is disclosed. Various of the nodes that are located intermediate a source node and a receiving node can detect communication failures in the network and then take action to efficiently recover from the failure, rather than acting only as repeaters. By allowing intermediate nodes to participate in recovery decisions, the speed and the quantity of real-time information transmission in the network can be improved.
