Abstract:
A special controller and a special node design for wireless communications are disclosed for generating a control messaging exchange on a wireless control channel between a controller and each mesh node: (a) to alter the wireless network topology, comprised of interconnected nodes, for load distribution, (b) to select better quality wireless links for control and data channel communications, and (c) to take away the burden of frequent route calculations from each node, making packet forwarding more efficient and optimal.

Claim (Index 13):
A topology alteration method as implemented in a mesh control software that is part of a controller, the mesh control software controlling a network comprised of at least a first, second and third mesh nodes,\n the first, second and third mesh nodes associated with internal first, second and third base stations, respectively, the first, second and third mesh nodes associated with a first, second, and third backhaul user terminals, respectively, the first backhaul user terminal being remote to the second mesh node, and the second backhaul user terminal being remote to the third mesh node, the first, second and third mesh nodes associated with a first, second, and third mesh app software, respectively, the first, second and third mesh nodes initially interconnected as follows: (a) the first backhaul user terminal of first node being attached to the second base station component via a first air interface forming an adjacency between the first and second nodes, and (h) the second backhaul user terminal of second node being attached to the third base station via a second air interface forming an adjacency between the second and third nodes, each of the three mesh nodes having directly attached radio access user terminals, the method comprising the steps of:\n (a) maintaining an user equipment (UE) reject list in each of the first, second and third mesh app software, each UE reject list containing a listing of those UEs whose connection attempt to that mesh node are to be rejected with an associated reject reason, along with at least an identifier of local backhaul user terminals associated with those UEs, so that when a given backhaul user terminal tries to attach to its local base station, the connection is rejected by its local base station forcing it to attach to a remote mesh node's base station; \n (b) sending, via the mesh control software, a topology directive message to the second mesh app requesting rejection of a connection request of the first backhaul user equipment to the second mesh app, the second mesh app adding the first backhaul equipment's identifier to its UE reject list and rejecting first backhaul user equipment's attachment to the second mesh node's base station; and \n (c) disconnecting the first backhaul equipment from the second mesh node's base station, while attempting to attach it to the third mesh node's base station, connecting and therefore altering the topology of connectivity between the three mesh nodes such that first node is now connected to third node instead of second node.
