Abstract
A system and method for establishing and/or maintaining one or more disparate connection paths from a originating mobile user device to a base station via a mobile peer-to-peer (PTP) network including an originating mobile user device configured to broadcasting at least one of a path establishment request signal and one or more path confirmation request signals to one or more intermediate mobile user devices; a mobile peer-to-peer network including the one or more intermediate mobile user devices configured to forwarding the at least one of the path establishment request signal, one or more path establishment response signals, the one or more path confirmation request signal, and one or more path confirmation response signals, via one or more disparate connection paths; and a base station configured to broadcasting at least one of the one or more path establishment response signals and the one or more path confirmation response signals to the originating mobile user device via the one or more disparate connection paths within the mobile peer-to-peer network.
