Abstract

The present solution, in various embodiments, addresses deficiencies in the prior art by providing systems, methods, and devices that enable industrial wireless sensor network nodes, individually or in clusters, to at least: (i) discover quickly and efficiently wireless neighbors that may come within range periodically and/or infrequently, (ii) communicate temporarily with one another in mobile configurations, (iii) transmit and/or receive information and commands from a source to a destination in delay-tolerant network configurations, and/or (iv) transmit and/or receive information and commands from a source to a destination via a mobile cluster that includes a store-and-forward (S&F) surrogate.
