Abstract
Mobile ad hoc Network (MANET) includes a first node of a plurality of nodes which self-assigns a role as a part of a network-spanning backbone upon a determination by the first node that one or more criteria have been satisfied. The first node uses the network-spanning backbone to facilitate a first-tier control plane communication service within the MANET. The first node also communicates within the MANET using a second-tier control plane communication service separate from the first-tier control plane communication service. The second-tier control plane communication service is used by the first node when communicating exclusively with neighbor nodes that are a 1-hop distance from the first node.
