Abstract
Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with adaptive communication topology within a wireless mesh network of devices are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a computer device, may include wireless circuitry to communicate with a leader of a network and a controller coupled to the wireless circuitry. The controller may identify one or more values located within a message received via the network, wherein the one or more values are generated by the leader, and determine in which of one or more operation modes the computer device is to operate based, at least partially, on the one or more values. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Claims25
A computer device, comprising:
- wireless circuitry to communicate with a leader of a network;
- and
- a controller coupled to the wireless circuitry, the controller to:
- identify one or more operation mode selection values located within a message received via the network, wherein the one or more operation mode selection values are generated by the leader, and the one or more operation mode selection values correspond to a rank;
- determine a rank of the computer device within the network;
- and
- determine in which of one or more operation modes the computer device is to operate based, at least partially, on an operation mode selection value of the one or more operation mode selection values that corresponds to the rank of the computer device.
A leader apparatus, comprising:
- a controller to:
- identify information associated with one or more computer devices within one or more messages received from at least a portion of the one or more computer devices, the one or more computer devices being within a network coordinated by the leader apparatus;
- and
- generate one or more operation mode selection values based on the information associated with the one or more computer devices, the one or more operation mode selection values to facilitate the one or more computer devices in selection of an operation mode based on ranks of the one or more computer devices within the network as determined by respective ones of the one or more computer devices;
- and
- wireless circuitry coupled to the controller and to communicate with the one or more computer devices, the wireless circuitry to transmit the one or more operation mode selection values to the one or more computer devices.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) comprising instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by a computer device is to cause the computer device to:
- identify a message transmitted by a leader of a network, wherein the message includes one or more operation mode selection values;
- determine a rank of the computer device within the network;
- identify a specific operation mode selection value associated with the rank of the computer device from the one or more operation mode selection values;
- and
- determine in which of one or more operation modes the computer device is to operate based, at least partially, on the specific operation mode selection value.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) comprising instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by a leader is to cause the leader to:
- identify information associated with one or more computer devices within transmissions from at least a portion of the one or more computer devices, the one or more computer devices being within a network coordinated by the leader;
- determine, based on the information, a number of the one or more computer devices and ranks associated with the one or more computer devices;
- generate one or more values based on the number of the one or more computer devices and the ranks associated with the one or more computer devices, the one or more values to facilitate the one or more computer devices in selection of an operation mode;
- and
- transmit a message that includes the one or more values to the network.
