What's Required?
	To achieve high-density networking: Nodes must be wireless Nodes must be low-power Overall network must be self-organizing ... and some corollaries: No base stations Distributed routing and administration Limited storage and computational resources

Since the network nodes are to be wireless, low-power, and self-organizing, some corollaries follow.

Corollary one is that an architecture that uses base stations won't work. In a system that uses base stations, each network node must have sufficient transmitter power to reach all the way to the base station, which violates the low-power requirements.

Corollary two is that the responsibility for routing messages and maintaining the network must be fully distributed. Since each node has limited transmit range, there's no one node that can "hear" all the other nodes, therefore, no centralized control is possible.

Corollary three is that in order to meet cost and power constraints, each node has limited storage and computational resources. In particular, this means that nodes cannot maintain routing tables or routing cost graphs of the entire network -- that would take too much storage and require too many compute cycles to maintain.
