    摘要: A method of sequencing a logical transfer of wireless nodes between wireless mesh networks includes iteratively evaluating each wireless node in a first set of wireless nodes to be transferred. Each evaluation includes a predictive analysis of a source wireless mesh network which tests communications between the gateway of the source wireless mesh network and each of the remaining wireless nodes, and a predictive analysis of the wireless node under evaluation in a destination wireless mesh network which tests communications between the gateway of the destination wireless mesh network and the wireless node under evaluation. The wireless node under evaluation is appended to a second set of wireless nodes to be transferred in response to the first predictive analysis of the source mesh network, and the predictive analysis of the wireless node under evaluation. The wireless nodes are structured in the second set in order of priority of transfer.
