Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and system for enhancing user services during roaming in wireless mesh networks, in particular, a wireless mesh router (“WMR”) for accessing a wireless mesh network. The WMR is to identify neighboring WMRs that are in the neighborhood of said WMR and to store identity information of the neighboring WMRs, and the WMR is to provide the neighboring WMRs with data of a mobile user device while the mobile user device is in connection with the WMR such that one of said neighboring WMRs is to takeover connection of the mobile user device from the WMR when the mobile user device moves away from said WMR.
Claims17
A method for accessing a wireless mesh network, comprising:
- identifying, at a wireless mesh router, a neighboring wireless mesh router that is in communication with the wireless mesh router;
- storing, at the wireless mesh router, identification data for the neighboring wireless mesh router;
- sending, from the wireless mesh router to the neighboring wireless mesh router, data of a mobile user device while the mobile user device has a connection with the wireless mesh router, wherein the data of the mobile device comprises a user profile;
- and
- transferring the connection for the mobile user device from the wireless mesh router to the neighboring wireless mesh router, wherein the neighboring wireless mesh network router provides access to the wireless mesh network to the mobile user device based on the data of the mobile user device.
A method for accessing a wireless mesh network, comprising:
- identifying, at a first wireless mesh router, a neighboring wireless mesh router that is in communication with the wireless mesh router;
- storing, at the wireless mesh router, identification data for the neighboring wireless mesh router;
- receiving, from the neighboring wireless mesh router at the wireless mesh router, first data of a mobile user device while the mobile user device has a connection with the neighboring wireless mesh router, wherein the first data of the mobile user device comprises a user profile;
- transferring the connection for the mobile user device from the neighboring wireless mesh router to the wireless mesh router, wherein the wireless mesh network router provides access to the wireless mesh network to the mobile user device based on the first data of the mobile user device.
