Abstract: A method includes receiving at least a first node connection from a network external to the data processing hardware. The network includes a network of nodes each operative to transmit and/or receive directional beams containing packets of data. The method also includes identifying an open first communication link between a first node and a second node of the network and determining a first recommended set of beam vectors to constrain a first scanning range of the first node when initiating beam forming with the second node. The method also includes transmitting the first recommended set of beam vectors to the first node. The first recommended set of beam vectors cause the first node to execute beam forming training with the second node using the first recommended set of beam vectors to establish the first communication link with the second node.

Abstract: A method for delivering a communication signal is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at an optical transceiver, an optical communication and constructing, at a baseband integrated circuit in communication with the optical transceiver, a radio frequency communication (e.g., the intermediate frequency data and control signals) based on the optical communication. The method also includes transmitting the radio frequency communication from a Sommerfeld-Goubau launcher in communication with the baseband integrated circuit as a surface wave along a power line to a strand mount device disposed on the power line. The strand mount device is configured to receive the radio frequency communication and wirelessly transmit the radio frequency communication (e.g., via a wireless link) to a user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing wireless backhaul transport. One element of the system is a highly integrated radio transceiver, including an integrated antenna. The radio transceiver may operate in the millimeter wave range (between 30 GHz and 300 GHz), and due to the small wavelengths, it is possible to integrate the antenna, which may typically compromise a number of antenna elements, with the radio transceiver in a single integrated circuit (IC) package, commonly referred to as a system-in-package (SiP) and/or antenna-in-package (AiP) format. The system supports multi-hop point-to-multipoint or multi-hop mesh networking topologies. Low level MAC routing tables are built and maintained to enable efficient packet and frame forwarding.

Abstract: Systems and methods, including procedures, for managing wireless point-to-multipoint networks supporting dynamic topologies with relaying, multi-hop or wireless bridging. A topology management protocol is embedded in a wireless MAC layer in a multi-hop point-to-multipoint network, enabling self-organizing dynamic topology management by using link level information to make decisions for relaying data. The topology management protocol provides for a first node to establish primary and alternate associations with other nodes based on a hub path cost associated with each of the other nodes.

Abstract: A method includes receiving one or more node connections from a mesh network external to the data processing hardware. The mesh network includes a network of nodes each operative to transmit and/or receive directional beams containing packets of data. The method also includes identifying a route within the mesh network for providing a data packet from a source to a destination and determining schedule information associated with the identified route, the schedule information coordinating wireless communication between at least a first node and a second node along the route to transfer the data packet. The method also includes providing the schedule information to the first node and the second node.

Abstract: In a network including a plurality of network nodes interconnected via a plurality of primary links and a controller in communication with the plurality of network nodes, the controller is configured to provide an event profile to the plurality of network nodes, the event profile indicating routing changes to be implemented in a variety of link loss scenarios. Each of the plurality of nodes is configured to determine that a particular link loss event occurred, determine, based on the event profile, routing changes for the particular link loss event, and implement the determined routing changes.
