Abstract

Techniques are provided for detecting an increase in congestion in a distributed ad hoc network architecture and transitioning from the distributed ad hoc network architecture to a cluster ad hoc network architecture when a sufficient increase in congestion is detected based on one or more congestion level indicator values (CLIVs). Other techniques are provided for detecting a decrease in congestion in cluster ad hoc network architecture and transitioning from the cluster ad hoc network architecture to a distributed ad hoc network architecture when a sufficient decrease in congestion is detected based on one or more congestion level indicator values (CLIVs).
