Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises determining, by a network device in a wireless data network, that a prescribed Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) threshold is unsuitable for use on an identified wireless network channel among available wireless network channels, based on a determined variance of a corresponding channel transmit attempt failure rate for the identified wireless network channel, relative to an expected variance in channel transmit attempt failure rates that is determined across the respective available wireless network channels; and selectively adjusting the corresponding CCA threshold for the identified wireless network channel, until a second determined variance of the corresponding channel transmit attempt failure rate, at the identified wireless network channel, falls below a prescribed channel failure rate variance factor relative to the expected variance.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a network determines that a plurality of packets should be aggregated, each of the plurality of packets comprising a payload. The device generates, for each of the payloads, a sub-media access control (sub-MAC) header that comprises a sequence number and a frame check sequence (FCS). The device forms an aggregated packet that comprises a physical layer (PHY) header, a MAC header, the payloads, and the generated sub-MAC headers for the payloads. The device sends the aggregated packet to another device in the network.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a mesh network rooted at a root node receives a subroot selection notification. The subroot selection notification indicates that the device should function as a root of a sub-directed acyclic graph (DAG) were a power outage to occur. The device determines that a power outage has occurred. The device forms, after determining that a power outage has occurred, a sub-DAG that is rooted at the device by establishing one or more other devices in the mesh network as routing children of the device in the sub-DAG. The device joins the sub-DAG to a DAG rooted at the root node.
