Abstract
One embodiment provides a mobile wireless network that includes a plurality of wireless nodes and a controller node which manages a weighted network graph for the plurality of wireless nodes. A local wireless node sends a route-request message associated with at least one destination node to the controller node, receives a path to the destination node, and routes a packet to the destination node based on the received path. The path is computed based on the weighted network graph. One embodiment provides a system for routing in a mobile wireless network that comprises a plurality of wireless nodes. The system receives a route-request message associated with at least one destination node from a source node, computes a path between the source node and the destination node based on a weighted network graph for the plurality of wireless nodes, and transmits the computed path to at least the destination node.
