Patent number: 11019551Abstract: In one embodiment, an interference-management system of a multi-hop wireless network may access an interference map indicating interference among a plurality of network nodes of the multi-hop wireless network. The interference-management system may determine, for a first pair of network nodes of the multi-hop wireless network, a plurality of adjustments to one or more beamforming weights associated with beamforming antennae of the first pair of network nodes to reduce interference among the network nodes of the multi-hop wireless network, wherein the plurality of adjustments correspond to a respective plurality of communication paths connecting the first pair of network nodes on the multi-hop wireless network. The interference-management system may exclude one or more adjustments from the plurality of adjustments based on a determination that the one or more adjustments correspond to one or more unsuitable communication paths, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventor: Djordje Tujkovic
