Abstract
A method for configuring a network is described, the method comprising: receiving, from a first radio node in the network, network information associated with one or more second radio nodes in the network; generating a network relation table, the network relation table comprising network information associated with the first radio node and the one or more second radio nodes; and performing a handoff to a third radio node in the network using the network relation table.

A method for configuring a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a control point radio node, information identifying a first radio node in the network, wherein the first radio node is configured to communicate with the control point radio node, and wherein the control point radio node is configured for a connection with a mobile device;
- receiving, by the control point radio node from the first radio node, information identifying one or more second radio nodes in the network that are within a communication range of the first radio node;
- and
- initiating, by the control point radio node, a handoff of the connection with the mobile device, from the control point radio node to one of the one or more second radio nodes, using the information received from the first radio node that identifies the one or more second radio nodes in the network that are within the communication range of the first radio node.
A system comprising:
- a control point radio node;
- and
- one or more machine-readable media configured to store instructions that are executable by the control point radio node to perform operations comprising
- receiving, by the control point radio node, information identifying a first radio node in the network, wherein the first radio node is configured to communicate with the control point radio node, and wherein the control point radio node is configured for a connection with a mobile device;
- receiving, by the control point radio node from the first radio node, information identifying one or more second radio nodes in the network that are within a communication range of the first radio node;
- and
- initiating, by the control point radio node, a handoff of the connection with the mobile device, from the control point radio node to one of the one or more second radio nodes, using the information received from the first radio node that identifies the one or more second radio nodes in the network that are within the communication range of the first radio node.
One or more machine-readable media configured to store instructions that are executable by a control point radio node to perform operations comprising
- receiving, by the control point radio node, information identifying a first radio node in the network, wherein the first radio node is configured to communicate with the control point radio node, and wherein the control point radio node is configured for a connection with a mobile device;
- receiving, by the control point radio node from the first radio node, information identifying one or more second radio nodes in the network that are within a communication range of the first radio node;
- and
- initiating, by the control point radio node, a handoff of the connection with the mobile device, from the control point radio node to one of the one or more second radio nodes, using the information received from the first radio node that identifies the one or more second radio nodes in the network that are within the communication range of the first radio node.
