Abstract
A method assigns addresses to nodes in a wireless network. An address space is defined as an n-dimensional grid. Each grid intersection has coordinates of a corresponding possible node of a wireless network. A number of components of each coordinate is equal to a dimensionality of the grid, and the coordinates form a logical address of the corresponding node. A parent node assigns an unallocated logical address as a child node address to a child node joining the wireless network such that one component of the child node address is one larger than a corresponding component of the parent node.
