Abstract
An emergency routing protocol within a wireless communication network. A mobile device can establish a communication link to the system backbone even when, for whatever reason, it can no longer communicate directly with a base station. The emergency routing protocol enables a distressed mobile device to communicate with the system backbone through another mobile device serving as an intermediary. The intermediary mobile device forwards information destined to/received from the distressed mobile device to its intended destination.
