  • Patent number: 10638287
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a supervisory device in a network forms a virtual access point (VAP) for a node in the network. A set of access points (APs) in the network are mapped to the VAP as part of a VAP mapping and the node treats the APs in the VAP mapping as a single AP for purposes of communicating with the network. The supervisory device receives measurements from the APs in the VAP mapping regarding communications associated with the node. The supervisory device identifies a movement of the node based on the received measurements from the APs in the VAP mapping. The supervisory device adjusts the set of APs in the VAP mapping based on the identified movement of the node.

  • Patent number: 10595185
    Abstract: Technology for neighbor selection with radio channel diversity awareness is described. In one embodiment, processing logic receives an RSSI value, a neighbor-sector identifier that identifies an antenna, and an unused channel list from each neighboring mesh network device. The processing logic generates a data structure with data in entries that are sorted according to an order of ascending or descending RSSI values. The processing logic performs a first search of the data structure to obtain a first set of radio channels for a first set of communication links and a second search to obtain a second set of radio channels for a second set of communication links. The processing logic determines that the second set of radio channels is higher than a second connectivity-quality metric value of the first set of radio channels and sends a neighbor pairing request to each neighboring mesh network device in the second set.
