ABSTRACT:
A MANET may include a plurality of mobile nodes and wireless communications links therebetween. A given mobile node along a route in the MANET may be for receiving a broadcast message inviting replies from mobile nodes along the route, forwarding the broadcast message to at least one downstream mobile node along the route, and waiting for the at least one downstream mobile node to reply based upon the forwarded broadcast message. Moreover, the given mobile node may also send a reply to the broadcast message at the earlier of either the least one downstream mobile node sending a reply to the forwarded broadcast message or a given reply time expiring.
