Link layered networks with improved operation
First Claim
1. A method of preventing network oscillation in a wireless link layered network comprising a plurality of transceivers at respective nodes which route communications from any node to a then central node of the network and wherein said communications are in a form of information packets transmitted from one node to another, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) from each node from which a message is to be sent to other nodes of said network, setting a flag associated with the sending node in a message information packet;
(b) sending the message information packets with the flags set to other nodes of the network; and
(c) rejecting for retransmission at each node any received message containing the flag set by that node.

Abstract
A method and system for optimizing and keeping operational a wireless link layered network in which a system control and modifying message (SCMM) is elicited from nodes receiving information packets and based upon whether the node originating the SCMM is from a link layer level which is equal to or less than the link layer level eliciting the SCMM, rerouting or adjusting future transmissions can be effected or items like a less current time at a receiving node and a most recent utilization rate of a receiving node can be adjusted, recorded or set.

- 2. A wireless link layered network comprising a plurality of transceivers at respective nodes which route communications from any node to a then central node of the network and wherein said communications are in a form of information packets transmitted from one node to another, in which the continuous retransmission of the same message in a sub set of the nodes is prevented, said prevention being effected by setting in each information packet to be sent to other nodes of said network a flag associated with the sending node and by rejecting for retransmission at each node any received message containing the flag set by that node.
