1. A method of operation of a mobile node for data collection and communication, said mobile node operating within an ad-hoc wireless network, said method comprising:
- collecting node usage data of said mobile node and preparing a summary report of said collected data;
enabling periodic transmission of said summary report to a core network element during periods when said core network element is accessible; and
disabling said periodic transmission, and maintaining and updating said summary report during periods when said core network element is inaccessible by said mobile node.

Abstract
A system and method for performing continuous accounting on a mobile node within a wireless ad-hoc network, using a sparse matrix method for compaction of the accounting data when forwarding data to a core network. The system and method perform continuous accounting of network traffic on a mobile node, and collected data is periodically transmitted in summary report form to a core network when accessible. During periods when the core network is inaccessible, collected data is maintained for subsequent transmission to the core network once access is re-established.

12. An ad-hoc wireless network for providing continuous accounting of network traffic information, comprising:
-
a mobile node for collecting node usage data associated with the mobile node, preparing a summary report of the collected node usage data, and enabling periodic transmission of the summary report to a core network element during periods when the core network element is accessible by the mobile node, wherein the mobile node disables the periodic transmission of the summary report to the core network element, and maintains and updates the summary report during periods when the core network element is inaccessible by the mobile node. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
