Appl. No.:

09/825878

Inventors:

Michael Montgomery - Oakridge TN, US

International Classification:

H04L001/00
H04J001/16
H04J003/14
G06F011/00

US Classification:

370/238000, 370/328000

Abstract:

In a mobile ad hoc network node first exchange their node sets of one-hop neighbors, thereby learning their sets of two-hop neighbors. A one-hop neighbor is a node in direct radio range of a source node. A two-hop neighbor node is one which, while beyond direct radio range of the source node, is in direct range of at least one of the source node's one-hop neighbor. Thereafter, each node selects a subset of its one-hop neighbor nodes, called the multi point relay (MPR) set, such that the subset can cover all the two-hop neighbors when forwarding broadcast traffic from that node. Outside the two-hop region, routes are discovered on a demand basis by flooding. However, flooding traffic is reduced because only the subset, instead of all one-hop neighbors, participates in forwarding.

US Classification:

702173000

Abstract:

An asset identification and information infrastructure management (AI3M) device having an automated identification technology system (AIT), a Transportation Coordinators' Automated Information for Movements System II (TC-AIMS II), a weigh-in-motion system (WIM-II), and an Automated Air Load Planning system (AALPS) all in electronic communication for measuring and calculating actual asset characteristics, either statically or in-motion, and further calculating an actual load plan.

International Classification:

G08B 13/14
G06K 9/18
G08B 21/00

US Classification:

3405721, 340540, 382182

Abstract:

The invention provides a method and system for identifying vehicles by commercial or government carrier, equipment, driver and cargo at a single inspection station using a plurality of sensors connected to a computer system that is networked to access records of various state and federal agencies based on the data sensed on the vehicle using the sensors in the inspection station.
