摘要： A system and method for controlling dynamic transmit power in a mesh network are disclosed. Distributed power transmit management methodology that implements transmission power management based on a comparison of signal to noise ratios from received beacon packets is used on a peer-to-peer basis. Embodiments work to keep all nodes accessible, dynamically adaptable to constant changes in the network, maximize frequency reuse, and reduce power requirements to maximize network performance while minimizing interference.

摘要： Networks based on Internet Protocol (IPv4) employ an administrative Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to convert logical IP addresses into physical Ethernet media access control (MAC) addresses. These queries address the entire network, and in very large networks, they contribute substantially to network traffic. This invention identifies ARP packets in a large, dynamic network and uses various means to minimize their broadcast throughout the network. This results in optimized network performance.

摘要： Computer networks with multiple nodes are often required to deliver packets to all nodes in the network, commonly referred to as “flooding.” Flooding is used to deliver multicast and broadcast packets generated by application, network and other layers of the networking stack. Flooding can be done very reliably but less efficiently via node to node “unicast” transmissions, or very efficiently but less reliably via “broadcast” transmissions. In order to balance reliability with efficiency, this invention defines a threshold for the number of neighboring nodes as seen by a given node prior to a flooding operation to determine whether data should be unicast or broadcast. Below that threshold, unicast is used; at or above that threshold, broadcast is used. The invention also incorporates knowledge of nodes seen in turn by neighbor nodes as part of this decision.

摘要翻译： 通常需要具有多个节点的计算机网络将数据包传递到网络中的所有节点，通常称为“洪泛”。洪泛用于传递应用程序，网络和网络堆栈的其他层生成的多播和广播数据包。 可以通过节点到节点“单播”传输非常可靠地但不太有效地进行洪泛，或者通过“广播”传输非常有效但不太可靠地进行洪泛。 为了平衡可靠性与效率，本发明定义了在洪泛操作之前由给定节点看到的相邻节点的数量的阈值，以确定数据是单播还是广播。 低于该阈值，使用单播; 等于或高于该阈值，则使用广播。 本发明还结合了由相邻节点依次看到的节点的知识作为该决定的一部分。

摘要： Traditional computer networks have been designed with the need for highly reliable packet delivery. This is largely handled by a centrally managed simple send-acknowledge protocol. In a highly dynamic mesh network, these methods are inadequate to ensure the most reliable packet delivery. This invention uses the natural redundancy of routes in a mesh and other techniques to increase the reliability of a network, even as the paths to any given node are dynamic in nature.
