CONSTRUCTING A SELF-ORGANIZING MESH NETWORK USING 802.11AD TECHNOLOGY

摘要

A method includes receiving one or more node connections (310) from a mesh network (200) external to the data processing hardware. The mesh network includes a network of nodes (350) each operative to transmit and/or receive directional beams containing packets of data (80). The method also includes identifying a route (201, 202) within the mesh network for providing a data packet from a source (210) to a destination (220) and determining schedule information (34) associated with the identified route, the schedule information coordinating wireless communication between at least a first node and a second node along the route to transfer the data packet. The method also includes providing the schedule information to the first node and the second node. Figure 3A
