Abstract
One embodiment described herein provides a system and method for adjusting the relay state of nodes in a wireless network. During operation, the system can obtain relay-state information associated with a plurality of neighboring nodes of a respective node in the wireless network. The system can identify, among the plurality of neighboring nodes, a set of relay neighbors capable of relaying messages based on the obtained relay-state information and determine a connectivity status of the set of relay neighbors. The system can then determine an expected relay state of the respective node based on a count and the connectivity status of the set of relay neighbors and can adjust a relay state of the respective node based on the expected relay state.
