ABSTRACT:
A network reconfiguration protocol is provided that is initiated by the congested communication node (300). When a node (300) determines it is a bottleneck node, it will then analyze complaints from other nodes to determine which nodes are being affected by the bottleneck. The congested node will request the reconfiguration of select neighboring communication nodes in the ad hoc network to use an alternate channel (e.g., frequency) for future communications. Because nodes experiencing poor transmission/reception due to a bottleneck node are reconfigured to operate on a different channel, congestion is greatly reduced.
