Abstract: A method and system for distributed roaming in a wireless mesh network are disclosed. Cells are able to track and predict a users movement throughout the network. The user's roaming profile is forwarded to predicted future cells before the user actually enters those cells. When the user enters a new cell, roaming is completed without communication to any other cells. Thus, handoff time is reduced and users may more seamlessly move throughout the network coverage area.

Abstract: A method and system for an adaptive wireless routing protocol in a mesh network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises routing datagrams between a plurality of nodes in a mesh network. Update messages are routed to one or more of the plurality of nodes, wherein the update messages include hello packets and update packets.
Abstract: A method and system for creating and deploying a mesh network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises providing a mesh router having a plurality of radios. The mesh router is used in a cell of a plurality of cells that covers a geographic region. Channels are assigned to the plurality of radios. The channels are selected from a plurality of channels to allow channel reuse throughout the plurality of cells.
