摘要：A multi-node communication system and method used to request, report andcollect destination-node-based measurements and route-based measurements isdisclosed. The communication system may be a mesh network including a plurality ofmesh points (MPs). In one embodiment, a destination-node-based measurement requestis sent to one or more destination nodes via destination-unicast, destination-multicast, ordestination-broadcast, using routes specified via next-hop-unicast, next-hop-multicast, ornext-hop-broadcast addressing. In another embodiment, a source node sends a

measurement request message to a final destination node, whereby each node along theroute individually sends a measurement report message to the source node.;Alternatively, measurement results of each node are combined and appended to themeasurement request message, and a measurement report message including thecombined measurement results is sent to the source node.; The method involves sendinga measurement request message from a source node to an intermediate node. Themeasurement request message is forwarded to a next hop node, when the intermediate

node receives the measurement request message. Measurements are conducted by theintermediate node, where the intermediate node sends a measurement report messageback to the source node. The measurements are conducted by a final destination node,and a measurement report message is sent to the source node. An independent claim isalso included for a communication system for collecting and reporting measurementresults, comprising a source node for sending a measurement request message to anintermediate node.
