Ad hoc communication protocol method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A communication method, comprising:
- establishing a communication connection between a first communication device and a second communication device in accordance with one or more communication layers, each communication layer being associated with a standard structure and protocol used to establish the communication connection between the first and second communication devices;
determining an ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol at the first communication device based on one or more actual operating conditions associated with the connection;
communicating the ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol to the second communication device; and
replacing one or more of the standard structures and/or protocols at the first communication device with the ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol responsive to the second communication device acknowledging acceptance of the ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a connection is established between a first communication device and a second communication device in accordance with one or more communication layers. Each communication layer is associated with a standard structure and protocol. An ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol are determined at the first communication device. The ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol are communicated to the second communication device. One or more of the standard structures and/or protocols are replaced at the first communication device with the ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol responsive to the second communication device acknowledging acceptance of the ad hoc communication layer structure and/or protocol.
