VEHICULAR MOBILITY VECTOR BASED ROUTING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for wireless communication on a wireless ad hoc network, the method comprising:
- identifying a node within the wireless ad hoc network where the node is a mobile node and the node is moving above a certain rate of speed;
determining a motion vector for the node;
calculating route prediction estimates based on location data and the motion vector for the node; and
performing scoped multicasting to transmit data to locations where the node is expected to be based on the route prediction estimates.

Abstract
Enhancements are disclosed to improve communications within a wireless ad hoc network for mobile nodes. Mobile nodes may move at a speed where benefit may be seen from anticipating where the node will be in the future. Routing is described which estimates the location where the next communication will take place and packets are sent to one or more corresponding locations. Various other described techniques provide for enhanced wireless communications.
