METHOD OF JOINING/RE-JOINING MICRO-MESH FOR MESH NODE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of joining/re-joining a micro-mesh for a mesh node.SOLUTION: A method includes: self-evaluating a mesh capability and a gateway capability of a mesh node itself; searching for a nearby dynamic gateway node; if a nearby dynamic gateway node is found by the search, calculating cellular RF criteria and determining whether the cellular RF criteria are met or not; if the cellular RF criteria are met, declaring a gateway status and getting ready to establish a second micro-mesh; if the cellular RF criteria are not met, joining or re-joining a first micro-mesh; if a nearby dynamic gateway node is not found by the search, calculating cellular RF criteria and determining whether the cellular RF criteria are met or not; if the cellular RF criteria are met, declaring the gateway status and getting ready to establish the second micro-mesh; and if the cellular RF criteria are not met, declaring a mesh mode status.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
