Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling a mesh network node to switch from a base station role to a user equipment role relative to a second mesh network node, and vice versa. By switching roles in this manner, the mesh network node may be able to benefit from increased uplink or downlink speed in the new role. This role reversal technique is particularly useful when using wireless protocols such as LTE that are asymmetric and allow differing throughput on uplink and downlink connections. Methods for determining whether to perform role reversal are disclosed, and methods for using role reversal in mesh networks comprising greater than two nodes are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 9):
The method of  claim 4 , further comprising:\n reevaluating, at the first network node, at least one traffic parameter to determine the role of the first network node for relating to the second network node; and receiving, at the first network node, an attach message from the second network node for setting up a second IP session, with the second network node operating as a user equipment, wherein the at least one traffic parameter indicates that a greater amount of bandwidth is desired for IP traffic from the first network node to the second network node relative to IP traffic from the second network node to the first network node.
