Embodiment Construction

[0023] The detailed description set forth below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings is intended as a description of various configurations of the invention and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the invention may be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for a thorough understanding of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the invention.

[0024] figure 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of a mesh network 100 . Mesh network 100 is shown with a cluster of mesh access points (MAPs) 102 that are used together to provide backhaul service to one or more access terminals (not shown). The mesh network 100 includes a wireless node 102A that provides a wired backhaul conne...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for advertising a backhaul metric in a mesh network (100) is described, the method comprising the steps of estimating a backhaul metric related to a throughput through a backhaul of the mesh network (100), adhering to a scheduling policy to support a plurality of wireless nodes (102) and advertising a rate that can be provided to an additional wireless node (102) while adhering to the scheduling policy and the backhaul metric within the mesh network (100).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to various techniques for routing in mesh networks. Background technique [0002] In wireless communication systems, an access network is typically used to connect any number of access terminals to a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet or the public switched telephone network (PSTN). These access networks are typically implemented with multiple wireless access points dispersed throughout a geographic area. Each of these access points provides a wired backhaul connection to the WAN. A common example is a cellular network that provides voice, data and signaling between mobile access terminals and broadband Internet access. These cellular networks generally cover multiple cellular areas, and each cell has a fixed-position access point for serving mobile access terminals. [0003] A mesh network differs from this traditional approach in that any number o...
