Beamforming techniques to choose transceivers in a wireless mesh network

A method comprising:

• selecting a given transceiver of a plurality of transceivers based on a measure of a link quality from the given transceiver to a receiver being greater than a threshold;
• determining a path through the plurality of transceivers from a master transceiver to the given transceiver;
• sending an encoded video bitstream via the path from the master transceiver to the given transceiver;
• and
• send the encoded video bitstream from the given transceiver to the receiver.

A system comprising:

• a computing device configured to render a video stream of a virtual reality (VR) environment;
• a master transceiver coupled to the computing device;
• one or more passive transceivers;
• and
• a receiver;
• wherein the system is configured to:
• select a given transceiver of the plurality of passive transceivers based on a measure of a link quality from the given transceiver to the receiver being greater than a threshold;
• determine a path the master transceiver to the given transceiver;
• send an encoded video bitstream via the path from the master transceiver to the given transceiver;
• and
• send the encoded video bitstream from the given transceiver to the receiver.
