Method for managing neighbor nodes and setting a routing path in a mobile ad-hoc network environment and network apparatus using the same
First Claim
1. A method for setting a routing path in a mobile ad hoc network environment, comprising:
- receiving a packet, which is periodically broadcast from a neighbor node;
measuring quality of a link with the neighbor node through the received packet;
calculating routing paths, using routing information of the neighbor node when the measured link quality is higher than a first threshold value; and
setting a shortest routing path to a destination node, among the calculated routing paths, as a path for data packet transmission.

Abstract
A method and network apparatus for setting a routing path and managing a neighbor node in mobile ad hoc, network environment are provided. The method for setting a routing path in mobile ad hoc network environment includes receiving a packet periodically broadcast from a neighbor node, measuring the quality of a link with the neighbor node through the received packet, calculating routing paths using the routing information of the neighbor node when the measured link quality is higher than a first threshold value, and selecting the shortest routing path to a destination node, among the calculated routing paths, as a path for packet transmission.

13. A network apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiving unit which is configured to receive a packet periodically broadcast from a neighbor node;
a measuring unit which is configured to measure quality of a link with the neighbor node using the packet received through the transceiving unit;
a comparison unit which is configured to compare the measured link quality with a first threshold value; and
a routing unit which calculates routing paths using routing information of the neighbor node when, as a result of the comparison by the comparison unit, the link quality is found to be higher than the first threshold value, and sets a shortest routing path to a destination node, among the calculated routing paths, as a path for data packet transmission. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
