A method and system for optimizing a mobile radio network topology for an N node network where each node has K connecting links. A base network topology is established and a cost value is determined for the base network. It is determined if all possible local transformations on the base network topology have been performed and if not a local transformation is performed on the base network to form a transformed network. A cost is calculated for the transformed network and the cost is compared with the cost of a base network. The transformed network is established as the base network if the cost of the transformed network is less than the cost of the base network.

Link order replacement optimization

In accordance with one embodiment of the invention a method for reliable data communications system in a communications system is provided. The method comprises determining a desired data rate and determining a power level required to transceive at the desired data rate. The method includes determining a channel selection function and determining the power necessary to transceive on the selected channel given the desired data rate and the associated power necessary for that data rate. The method also includes a channel monitoring function for monitoring data communications once communications has been established and a channel search method if communications has been degraded.
