Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in an ad hoc network, comprising: a node transmitting an extended allowable hold time value to a further node; the node changing its transmission behavior such that the further node stops receiving transmission from the node for an extended period, for example by pausing transmission at least in the direction of the further node; and the further node treating the link to the node as intact during the extended allowable hold time. The transmitting of the extended allowable hold time value may be performed earlier than a next routine transmission of routine allowable hold time value would have been sent. The method may further comprise the node being instructed to maintain topology information for an extended time.

Abstract translation: 一种在自组织网络中使用的方法和装置，包括：节点向另一个节点发送延长的允许保持时间值; 所述节点改变其传输行为，使得所述另一节点至少在所述另一节点的方向上暂停所述传输; 并且在延长的允许保持时间期间，另一节点处理到节点的链接是完整的。 延长的允许保持时间值的发送可以比将被发送的例行容许保持时间值的下一个例程传输更早地执行。 该方法还可以包括被指示在更长时间内维护拓扑信息的节点。
