Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A node within a wireless mesh network performs a path analysis on an advertised path to an access point that has a cost value less than the cost value of the current primary path to the access point. Depending on the cost value difference between the respective cost values of the advertised path and the current primary path, the node may perform a different type of path analysis. Based on the result of that path analysis, the node may change paths to the access point and use the advertised path as the primary path. Further, the node maintains a secondary path so that, in the event that the primary path fails, the node can default to using the secondary path.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for determining a primary path across a network between a first node within the network and an access point coupled to the network, the method comprising: receiving an advertisement for a first path to the access point that traverses a neighboring node of the first node; determining a cost value difference based on a cost value associated with the primary path and a cost value associated with the first path; based on the cos…
