METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COORDINATING INFORMATION REQUEST MESSAGES OVER AN AD-HOC MESH NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- at least one request to transmit one or more information request messages over an ad-hoc mesh network;
context information associated with at least a portion of the ad-hoc mesh network, one or more nodes within the at least a portion of the ad-hoc mesh network, or a combination thereof; and
at least one transmission of the one or more information request messages over the ad-hoc mesh network based, at least in part, on the context information.

Abstract
An approach is provided for coordinating information request messages over an ad-hoc mesh network. A module receives at least one request to transmit one or more information request messages over an ad-hoc mesh network. The module determines context information associated with at least a portion of the ad-hoc mesh network, one or more nodes within the at least a portion of the ad-hoc mesh network, or a combination thereof. The module then determines to transmit the one or more information request messages over the ad-hoc mesh network based, at least in part, on the context information.
