ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for sending data in a wireless ad-hoc network including a plurality of nodes grouped into clusters of nodes and a plurality of wireless links connecting the plurality of nodes, where each cluster node has a designated cluster leader node. The method may include sending a cluster-level route request from a source node of a source cluster to a cluster leader node of the source cluster, and determining a cluster-level route between the source cluster and a destination cluster including a destination node responsive to the cluster-level route request and using a plurality of the cluster leader nodes. Furthermore, at least one cluster target node may be designated in a cluster along the cluster-level route, and a node-level route determined from the source node to the destination node including the at least one cluster target node. In addition, the method may also include generating a mission data packet for transferring the data.
