The invention relates to methods and apparatus of opportunistic wireless mesh networking which operate under random networking conditions. Such random network conditions typically limit the effectiveness of prior art wireless mesh networks, and more particularly to those supporting low power devices within the wireless network. Random network conditions include: random power supply, random node distribution, random node mobility, high mobility of nodes, random wireless link fluctuations, and random application traffic. The opportunistic wireless mesh network implemented with a two--layer architecture Embedded Wireless Interconnect (EWI) framework, which is adopted as the architecture reference model. The functionalities of opportunistically wireless mesh networking are provided by the provisioning of two kinds of wireless link modules, i.e. a broadcasting module, and a unicast module. The novel low power opportunistic wireless mesh networks can additionally interconnect to existing network infrastructures such as Open System Interconnect (OSI) based wired or wireless networks, by implementing protocol translations at the network borders and thereby enabling both micro- and macro-mobility management for wireless devices and their associated users.
