Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In one embodiment, a device connected to a network receives at a network interface a first network size indicator for a first network and a second network size indicator for a second network. A difference between the first network size indicator and the second network size indicator is determined and a switching probability is calculated if the difference between the network size indicators is greater than a predetermined network size difference threshold. The device may then migrate from the first network to the second network based on the switching probability.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving, at a network interface of a device connected to a first network, a first network size indicator for the first network; receiving, at the network interface, a second network size indicator for a second network; determining, using a processor, a difference between the first network size indicator and the second network size indicator; calculating, via the processor, a switching probability if the difference between the fi…
