Patent number: 11696206Abstract: Disclosed is an improved implementation of a flood fill mesh network that utilizes probability forwarding for rebroadcasting network messages. The forwarding probability may be determined based on analyzing a network topology map constructed by each network node relative to its neighbor nodes communicating on the network and derived from state information contained in synchronization frames broadcasted by the network nodes on the network. The forwarding probability may comprise a statistical probability that a message frame received by a network node will be forwarded to the intended destination network node by one or more of the network node's neighbor network nodes.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Inventor: Guy McIlroy

Patent number: 11470531Abstract: An improved Wi-Fi access point dynamically determines the interference level of each channel. The access point determines that a new channel is better suited to serve an RTC/RTE application over the present channel based on the interference levels and a set of interference measure thresholds. The access point automatically creates a new basic service set on the new channel and associates the RTC/RTE device running the RTC/RTE application with the new basic service set. The access point further refuses to associate the RTC/RTE device with the previous channel when the interference level on the new channel remains low based on a second set of interference measure thresholds. In addition, the access point allows additional RTC/RTE devices to join the new basic service set with the first RTC/RTE device when the interference level on the new channel remains low based on the second set of interference measure thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Agora Lab, Inc.Inventor: Yue Cao
