Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods relating to mesh network communications are described. In one embodiment a method may include receiving at least one information packet at a node, identifying one or more output communication links, assessing at least one characteristic of at least one of the one or more identified output communication links, and transmitting one or more information packets from a node via at least one of one or more identified output communication links based at least in part on at least one characteristic.

Abstract: Techniques are described of forming a mesh network for wireless communication. One method includes broadcasting, from a first node connected to a core network, a beacon signal, receiving a connection establishment request from a second node in response to the broadcasted beacon signal; determining a radio resource availability associated with a plurality of radios of the first node based on the connection establishment request, and establishing a connection with the second node using a radio of the plurality of radios based on the radio resource availability. In some cases, the radio resource availability may include a number of active connections associated with one or more radios of the plurality of radios of the first node.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method includes establishing, using a wired interface, a first connection with an access point having a dedicated connection with a core network, establishing, using a first radio of a plurality of radios, a first millimeter wave (mmW) connection with a first node of a mmW mesh network, and establishing, using a second radio of the plurality of radios, a second mmW connection with a second node of the mmW mesh network. In some cases, the method may additionally or alternatively, include establishing, using a third radio of the plurality of radios, a cellular connection with the first node or the second node of the mmW mesh network.

Abstract: An apparatus for wireless communication in a millimeter wave (mmW) mesh network is described. The apparatus may include a processor, memory in electronic communication with the processor, a radio component including a plurality of mmW radios in electronic communication with the processor, each mmW radio configured to establish a mmW connection with a node in the mmW mesh network, and a pole mount component coupled with a first section of the radio component.
