  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10581720
    Abstract: A dynamic service routing protocol (DSRP) communicates messages (e.g., containing information regarding network routes and tables) across a partial-mesh network of nodes. Gateway nodes (i.e., computing devices that operate as a final sink point for a service route) are connected to edge routers (i.e., computing devices that operate as a transit for a service route) but not necessarily to other host nodes. Gateway nodes asynchronously and/or dynamically send DSRP messages for updating the router nodes' routing tables and to minimize manual route configuration.

  • Patent number: 10560963
    Abstract: A method performed by a first radio node to select a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, method based on a type of information to be transmitted in a radio channel in unlicensed spectrum. The first radio node performs an LBT using the selected LBT method. When the information is data, the method includes always deferring transmission until: A) after completion of a first period of observation, an outcome of at least a second period of observation is that the channel is idle, or B) an outcome of a first period and one or more defer periods is that the channel is idle. When the information is control or management information, the selected method includes allowing transmission immediately after an outcome of the first period is that the channel is idle. A duration of the first period provides priority to the control or management information over data.
