Abstract:
Methods of upgrading a mesh network device reduce the amount of memory required on such devices. A network device may identify a neighbor network device in response to receiving a request to perform an upgrade, and send a message configured to cause the neighbor network device to function as a recovery node. The network device may then perform the upgrade without retaining a backup image in memory. If the neighbor network device determines that the upgrade failed based on messages not received from the mesh network device being upgraded, the neighbor network device may recover the network device being upgraded by providing a file corresponding to the upgrade. The neighbor network device may determine that the upgrade failed if no response is received to a challenge message or if no indication of success is received after a time expires.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein:\n the message configured to cause the mesh network device to function as the recovery node for the neighbor mesh network device includes a timeout value; and determining whether the upgrade of the neighbor mesh network device succeeded based upon receiving a message from the neighbor mesh network device comprises:\n sending a challenge message to the neighbor mesh network device upon expiration of a time indicated in the timeout value; \n determining whether a challenge response message is received from the neighbor mesh network device; \n determining that the upgrade of the neighbor mesh network device succeeded in response to receiving the challenge response message; and \n determining that the upgrade of the neighbor mesh network device did not succeed in response to not receiving the challenge response message.
