    摘要: In one embodiment, a receiving node in a computer network may detect congestion, and also identifies a set (e.g., subset) of its neighbor nodes. In response to the congestion, the receiving node may assign a transmission timeslot to each neighbor node of the set based on the congestion, where each neighbor is allowed to transmit (synchronously) only during its respective timeslot. The assigned timeslots may then be transmitted to the set of neighbor nodes. In another embodiment, a transmitting node (e.g., a neighbor node of the receiving node) may receive a scheduling packet from the receiving node. Accordingly, the transmitting node may determine its assigned transmission timeslot during which the transmitting node is allowed to transmit. As such, the transmitting node may then transmit packets only during the assigned timeslot (e.g., for a given time). In this manner, congestion at the receiving node may be reduced.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a management device determines a topology of nodes in a network. Based on the topology, frequency hopping sequences are assigned (and notified) to the nodes such that each particular node of a certain set of the nodes is assigned a frequency hopping sequence on which to transmit that is different than frequency hopping sequences of neighbors and hidden neighbors of that particular node. In another embodiment, a transmitting node first transmits a transmission indication signal on its particular frequency band based on its frequency hopping sequence, and then transmits a message on the particular frequency band. In a further embodiment, a receiving node listening to a plurality of frequency bands may detect the transmission indication signal on the particular frequency band. In response, the receiving node filters out all frequency bands other than the particular frequency band, and receives the following transmission on that particular frequency band.

    摘要: In one embodiment, hidden neighbor relationships are identified based on received neighbor information from a plurality of nodes in a communication network. Based on determining a number of hidden neighbors for a particular node at various node parameters, a cost function associated with the particular node may be determined and utilized. In another embodiment, a number of hidden nodes of the particular node is determined across a range of transmission powers, and a delay associated with the particular node reaching a root node in the network across the range of transmission powers is also determined based on the neighbor nodes reachable at respective transmission powers. A tradeoff is determined across the range of transmission powers between the number of hidden nodes and the delay, and then the transmission power of the particular node can be set based on an acceptable determined tradeoff.

    摘要: A root node sets wireless network timer values by using dynamic location information of a plurality of non-root nodes. In an embodiment, the root node and the non-root nodes are bridges, wherein the non-root bridges are connected to the root bridge in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint manner. The locations of the nodes are determined by using a location system and locations receivers. The root node and each of the non-root nodes use this location information to determine the optimum timer values for the wireless network, thereby improving throughput on the wireless network. In one embodiment, the location system is the global positioning system (GPS). The location receiver is a GPS location receiver that is embedded in each of the nodes. In another embodiment, the GPS location receiver is external to the nodes, and the location information is determined remotely.
