Abstract

A plurality of interactive modules are disposed at spaced locations to form an adaptive wireless network. Each module is capable of receiving transmissions of messages or data packets from other modules, and of transmitting messages or data packets to other modules for forming selected transmission paths via one or more modules toward a base station. Upon failure of a transmission path, a module not capable of transmitting a message along a transmission path toward the base station, transmits a message to other of the plurality of modules to form a new transmission path via such other module.
