Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wireless mesh network comprised of ultra-high-capacity nodes that are capable of establishing ultra-high-capacity links (e.g., point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bi-directional communication links) using a millimeter wave spectrum, including but not limited to 28 Ghz, 39 Ghz, 37/42 Ghz, 60 Ghz (including V band), or E-band frequencies, as examples. The higher capacity and/or extended range of these ultra-high-capacity nodes/links may be achieved via various advanced signal processing techniques. Further, these ultra-high-capacity nodes/links may be used in conjunction with other types of point-to-point and/or point-to-multipoint links to build a multi-layer wireless mesh network.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is mesh relay module for relaying signals between nodes in a wireless mesh network. In one implementation, this mesh relay node may include a receiver front end comprising a receiver-side phased antenna array for receiving signals in one respective beam direction, a transmitter front end comprising a transmitter-side phased antenna array for transmitting signals in another respective beam direction, a communication interface, and circuitry that is configured to control the respective beam directions of the receiver and transmitter front ends and transfer signals between the receiver and transmitter front ends. Further, this mesh relay node may function to provide an indirect communication path between nodes within the wireless mesh network by (i) receiving signals from a first direction associated with a first node via the receiver front end and (ii) transmitting received signals in a second direction associated with a second node via the transmitter front end.
