Abstract
In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a communications facility that is adapted to communicate with at least one other mesh network node at a communication speed selected from a plurality of communication speeds.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- a communications facility adapted to communicate with at least one other mesh network node at a communication speed selected from a plurality of communication speeds, wherein the plurality of communication speeds operate on the same communications channel.
11-15. (canceled)
A method of wireless communication comprising:
- selecting a signal communication speed from a plurality of signal communication speeds associated with a first network node within a mesh network;
- and
- transmitting a signal from the first network node at the selected signal communication speed, wherein the transmitted signal is intended to be received by a second network node within the mesh network.
21-38. (canceled)
A method of configuring communication speeds within a mesh network comprising:
- selecting a first signal communication speed for a first network node within a mesh network, wherein the first signal communication speed is selected based on information relating to a second network node within the mesh network;
- and
- storing information relating to the first signal communication speed in a data structure associated with the first network node.
