Distributed learning method for wireless mesh networks.

摘要

Station (70) adapted to operate as a point (62) mesh in a wireless network comprising a plurality of points (60, 64, 68) mesh, the station comprising a set module (80) for determining whether a first point (62) mesh can transmit to a second mesh point while another point (64) mesh, belonging to a couple of other points (64, 68) mesh, is transmitting on the same link simultaneously: calculating a the first carrier to interference ratio as the ratio of a weighted value w (Tx, Rx) between the point (62) mesh potential transmitter, Tx, and the intended receiver, Rx, and interference of the simultaneous transmission, wherein said weighted value w (Tx, Rx) is an estimate of the signal strength measured in the Rx node if the node is transmitting data Tx; calculating a second carrier to interference ratio corresponding to an estimate of a signal strength produced by the existing transmission in a mesh point reception couple of other points divided mesh between an estimate of a signal strength which produce the transmission potential mesh point in receiving other pair of grid points; and determining if said first point (62) of mesh should transmit to said second mesh point based on comparing the first carrier to interference ratio and the second carrier to interference ratio with a first threshold value and a second threshold value, respectively.
