Abstract
All nodes in a network are classified into hierarchical groups. Each node belongs to any group in all hierarchical groups from the highest order group to the lowest order group. The node is assigned a hierarchical address corresponding to each hierarchical group. Thus, the amount of routing information required for data transfer can be reduced, thereby efficiently transmitting data.
