Method and system for monitoring ad-hoc network nodes
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a mobile ad-hoc network node using an ad-hoc network, comprising:
- receiving a message notifying when a network node is preparing to join the ad-hoc network;
determining based on a threshold value, when the ad-hoc network node should be active; and
receiving a message notifying when the ad-hoc network node will no longer be part of the ad-hoc network.

Abstract
A method and system for monitoring a mobile ad-hoc network node (e.g. a network enabled aircraft) is provided. The method includes, receiving a message notifying when the ad-hoc node is preparing to join the ad-hoc network; and determining based on a threshold value, when the ad-hoc node should be joining a monitoring system that tracks the status and availability of ad-hoc nodes. The method generates a status message if the ad-hoc node fails to join the monitoring system. The message is received by the monitoring system via and external source to the ad-hoc network. The system includes a data center that receives the message notifying when the node is preparing to join the ad-hoc network; and determines based on a threshold value, when the ad-hoc node should be joining the ad-hoc network and monitoring system.
