Abstract
A protocol stack for an ad hoc type network comprises existing modules from third generation 3GPP architectures, a radio access plane, a mobility management module and a radio resource control module, said ad hoc type network being able to be organized into several groups—or clusters, a group corresponding to a grouping of radio resources for a given coverage area, and: a routing module arranged between the management module and the radio resource control module; a part of the mobility management being managed in the access plane in order to manage transfers, or handovers, between the groups, in the case of a network that is organized into groups of users or “clusterized”; the module manages handover decisions and radio resource management; said protocol stack additionally comprising, an L2RTP layer suitable for processing the radio-level regenerative relaying at the level of a data packet; a security plane for isolating security functions.
