INTERFERENCE MITIGATION AND ADAPTIVE ROUTING IN WIRELESS AD-HOC PACKET-SWITCHED NETWORKS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A protocol stack for use by a device to communicate over a wireless communications network, the protocol stack comprising:
- at least one detection protocol layer for detecting an interference that is attempting to interfere with packet switched communications in the wireless network, wherein the at least one detection protocol layer is configured to produce a message that indicates that the interference has been detected; and
at least one transmitting protocol layer for transmitting at least one wireless environment characteristic that identifies the interference that is attempting to interfere with packet switched communications in the wireless communications network.

Abstract
Described are an apparatus and method for routing packets through a multiple-hop wireless communications network. Interference with packet switched communications carried by radio frequency (RF) over the multiple-hop wireless communications network is detected. In response to information related to the detected interference, a route is adaptively determined for transmitting packets through the multiple-hop wireless communications network that mitigates the effect of the interference on the packets.
