Abstract
A method of establishing an arterial sub-network of nodes in a communications network is disclosed. According to the method, the one-hop neighbor sets of each node are compared with the one-hop neighbor sets of the neighbors of each node, and a set of rules are applied to determine whether or not each node is to be part of the arterial sub-network.
