Message path distance value determining method for use in ad hoc on demand distance vector routing process, involves determining link distance value for path link and determining path distance value from link distance value

摘要

The method involves determining a link distance value for a link (L1) of a path based on a data packet arrival rate that is assumed in a probability. A path distance value is determined from the link distance value and based on another probability in such a manner that a data packet is transmitted during the propagation along the path with the link. A number of path links are considered during the path distance value determination. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a network node with a processing device for determining a path distance value (2) a network with a network node.
