A method for routing communications at a mobile station includes
determining, at a mobile station, one or more routing metrics that are
associated with each of a number of communication paths that couple the
mobile station and a destination device. At least one of the routing
metrics includes the link quality of at least one wireless communication
link included in each of the communication paths. The method also
includes receiving, at the mobile station, routing information from one
or more routers that couple the mobile station and the destination
device. The method further includes routing a communication to the
destination device based on the determined routing metrics and the
received routing information.
