Latest Patents
Iordanis Koutsopoulos holds a patent titled "Apparatus and method for intra-team multi-hop broadcasting for efficient control signaling in wireless ad-hoc networks." This invention presents a broadcast routing protocol and system designed for the efficient dissemination of control information in ad-hoc networks. The process begins with assigning costs to each link and/or node in the network, utilizing methods such as minimum inverse degree (MID-) or combined (C-) cost. Subsequently, a graph-theoretic entity is computed at each node, which may include Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) or Modified Minimum Weighted Node Cover. Finally, an appropriate packet forwarding protocol is employed to relay control information. This invention demonstrates improved bandwidth consumption compared to traditional flooding methods and exhibits robustness in various node mobility scenarios.
