Abstract:
Systems and methods for allocating frequency channels across a radiofrequency (RF) mesh network, including identifying pairs of radio groups having a propensity for interference; allocating frequency channels to each of the plurality of radio groups; and deploying the allocated frequency channels to the plurality of radio groups, using a central routing server including an automated frequency planning module that executes an RF allocation algorithm, wherein the RF allocation algorithm determines the frequency channel to assign to each radio group and deploys the determined frequency channel to each radio group of the plurality of radio groups.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for allocating frequency channels across a radiofrequency (RF) mesh network, comprising:\n a plurality of nodes, wherein each node defines a geographic position and comprises:\n a radio associated with the geographic position, and \n an antenna communicatively coupled to the radio and defining a broadcast heading and beam shape; \n wherein the plurality of nodes are communicatively connected in a network over a plurality of wireless links, wherein each of the plurality of wireless links is between a first radio of a first node and a second radio of a second node that cooperatively define a radio group such that the plurality of nodes defines a plurality of radio groups; wherein each radio group of the plurality of radio groups is associated with a frequency channel over which a corresponding wireless link of the plurality of wireless links is made; a central routing server comprising an automated frequency planning module that:\n executes an RF allocation algorithm, wherein the RF allocation algorithm determines the frequency channel to assign to each radio group of the plurality of radio groups based on a computed interference propensity metric associated with pairs of radio groups, wherein the computed interference propensity metric is based on at least one of the geographic position, the broadcast heading of the antenna, and the beam shape of the antenna of each node of the pairs of radio groups, and \n deploys the determined frequency channel to each radio group of the plurality of radio groups; \n wherein the RF allocation algorithm comprises a graph coloring technique, and wherein the automated frequency planning module:\n defines a graph of radio groups connected by edges, wherein an edge connects a pair of radio groups based on the computed interference propensity metric associated with the pair; \n orders the plurality of radio groups according to a number of edges connected to each radio group of the graph to generate an ordered list of radio groups; and \n sequentially assigns frequency channels to the ordered list of radio groups.
