  • Patent number: 10609620
    Abstract: Technology for multi-hop power management is described. In one embodiment, processing logic obtains a noise floor value, an interference threshold parameter, a data rate threshold parameter, and a set of channel interference metrics from each of a first mesh network device, a second mesh network device, and a third mesh network device, respectively. The processing logic identifies a network path that traverses the three mesh network devices. The processing logic calculates a first transmit power level for the first mesh network device, a second transmit power level for the second mesh network device, and a third transmit power level for the third mesh network device. Data transmissions by each of the mesh network device at the respective transmit power levels ensure a minimum data transmission rate over each hop of the network path.
