Opportunistic wireless mesh network methods

The invention relates to opportunistic wireless mesh networks which operate under random networking conditions. Such random network conditions typically limit the effectiveness of prior art wireless mesh networks, and more particularly to those supporting low power devices within the wireless network. Random network conditions include: random power supply, random node distribution, random node mobility, high mobility of nodes, random wireless link fluctuations, and random application traffic. The opportunistic wireless mesh network utilizes a two-layer architecture Embedded Wireless Interconnect (EWI) framework, which is adopted as the architecture reference model. A mesh network according to the invention supports opportunistically determining both mesh interconnections and network transmission routes by providing nodes with broadcast modules and unicast modules. The methods provide novel low power opportunistic wireless mesh networks that support interconnection with existing network infrastructures such as Open System Interconnect (OSI) based wired or wireless networks.
