Resource allocation in a wireless mesh network environment

A computer system comprising:

• a processor device;
• and
• a hardware storage resource coupled to the processor, the hardware storage resource storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor device, causes the at least one processor device to perform operations of:
• receiving connectivity status information indicating wireless connectivity amongst multiple interconnected access points in a mesh network and multiple clients;
• and
• based on the received connectivity status information, allocating portions of wireless bandwidth in the mesh network to wirelessly communicate between a root access point in the mesh network and the multiple interconnected access points.

Computer-readable hardware storage having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by at least one processing device, causes the at least one processing device to perform operations of:

• receiving connectivity status information indicating wireless connectivity amongst multiple interconnected access points in a mesh network and multiple clients;
• based on the received connectivity status information, allocating portions of wireless bandwidth in the mesh network to wirelessly communicate between a root access point in the mesh network and the multiple interconnected access points;
• and
• transmitting messages over the allocated portions of wireless bandwidth from the root access point through the multiple interconnected access points to the multiple clients.
