  • High performance wireless networks using distributed control
    Patent number: 7885243
    Abstract: A design and proof of concept of a new type of WLAN, complete with simulation and results from the simulation has been described. Each AP Node is implemented as a self-contained embedded OS unit, with all algorithms resident in its Operating system. The normal day-to-day functioning of the AP node is based entirely on resident control algorithms. Upgrades are possible through a simple secure communications interface supported by the OS kernel for each AP node.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 19, 2008
    Date of Patent: February 8, 2011
    Assignee: Mesh Dynamics, Inc.
    Inventors: Francis da Costa, Sriram Dayanandan
