Title: System and method of utilizing an interference mitigating protocol in mesh networks
Inventor: Simon Coombes
IPC: H04W84/18
Filed: 2019-02-07
Abstract: An interference mitigating protocol for a mesh network involves identifying high density packets (e.g. video data) for transmission from a source node 404 to a destination node 406 and transmitting a control message to the nodes of the mesh network, the control message activating nodes along a path from the source node to the destination node and deactivating all other nodes in the network. The activated nodes transmit only the data packet from the source and drop or hold any other data packet that is received, and the deactivated nodes do not transmit any data packets and drop or hold any received data packets. All of the nodes are reactivated after a certain amount of time or upon the high density data packets arriving at the destination, and the network reverts back to normal operation. The protocol mitigates against interference and collisions during high speed transmissions. The control message may include a hop by hop route ID. A dynamic tunnelling protocol may be used. The invention may be used in a luminaire Internet of Things (IoT) network (see fig. 1).
