Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005053233A1] The invention relates to a network element (1) for setting up wireless networks (3), a corresponding network (4), and a method for setting up wireless networks and for the wireless data exchange between network elements (1) and/or network users (2). Said network element (1) comprises an emitting/receiving unit (12) for the wireless emission and reception of data, a control unit (11) for controlling the processing of data, and a data memory (15). The aim of the invention is to improve known means for setting up wireless networks. To this end, a control unit (11) is designed in such a way as to evaluate connection path information (22) and connection state information (21) for data exchange between network elements (1) and/or network users (2), in order to determine partial sections of data transmission routes and/or complete data transmission routes for transmitting or forwarding data. The connection path information (22) indicates the number of network elements (1) and relations between neighbouring network elements (1) of the network, and the connection state information (21) indicates the state of the connection between network elements (1) and/or network users (2).
