Abstract
A system and method for providing network data and system upgrades to individual nodes within an ad-hoc network without requiring network-wide information broadcasts. The system and method identifies adjacent devices authorized to share system and upgrade information. Nodes are directed to prepare and transmit requests for upgrade information from adjacent devices, such that upgrade information may be passed, from one node to the next, reaching each node in the network. The node-to-node upgrade propagation thereby replaces traditional network-wide broadcasts of upgrade information.
