1. A method for determining mobility of a node in a wireless communication network, the method comprising within the node:

  • receiving mobility status information from a plurality of other nodes operating within the wireless communication network, wherein the mobility status information identifies each of the other nodes as either a mobile node or a stationary node;

    measuring distance information representing a change in distance between the node and each of the stationary nodes in the wireless communication network; and

    identifying the node as mobile when the node determines from the measured distance information that it is mobile before each of the other stationary nodes is identified as mobile.
