ABSTRACT:
The method includes routing message data from a source node to a destination node in a mobile ad hoc network. The mobile ad-hoc network includes a plurality of intermediate mobile nodes between the source node and the destination node, and a plurality of wireless communication links connecting the nodes together. The method includes, at the source node, discovering routing to the destination node, ranking discovered routes according to at least one link metric, and distributing the message data to the destination node along a plurality of the discovered routes based upon the ranking. The link metric may include a measurement of link delay, link capacity, link available capacity, and/or link reliability.
