System and method of utilizing an interference mitigating protocol in mesh networks

A method for utilizing a dynamic interference mitigating protocol to determine and activate a first specific path in a mesh network, the method comprising:

• identifying a high density data packet to be transmitted from a first of a plurality of nodes that functions as a source node to a second of the plurality of nodes that functions as a target node in a mesh network;
• transmitting a control message to the plurality of nodes;
• activating, by the control message, respective nodes along the first specific path;
• and
• deactivating other nodes in the mesh network.

A method for utilizing a dynamic interference mitigating protocol to determine and activate a fast path in a mesh network, the method comprising:

• generating a message, via a processor, the message including a fast path identifier associated with a source node in a mesh network comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein the fast path identifier resides in a message header that comprises a list of forwarding nodes in the mesh network;
• broadcasting the message through the mesh network;
• deactivating each of the plurality of nodes other than the source node, a receiving node, and the forwarding nodes in the message header;
• truncating the list of the forwarding nodes from the message once the message is forwarded to a next forwarding node in the mesh network.
