Abstract: A system including an edge router which collects data from a mesh network by receiving on multiple simultaneous frequencies. Using N simultaneous frequencies increases the throughput of a system by up to N-times, reducing the bottleneck that otherwise occurs at the take-out-point of a mesh communications system. Furthermore, nodes in direct communication with the edge router can send each data packet multiple times on multiple frequencies, increasing the probability that the packet is delivered correctly, eliminating the necessity to acknowledge (ACK) each packet. This further enhances system throughput.

Abstract: A system for managing element management in an ad-hoc network is disclosed. The system employs a TDD/FDD communication protocol to allocate assignment of time/frequency slots to individual system elements. Time/frequency assignment is based on desired communication standards in conjunction with geographic mapping of adjacent stations to prevent interference between stations.
