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 6):
A system comprising:\n a first base station, further comprising:\n a first radio transceiver configured to receive attach requests from a plurality of mobile devices using an asymmetric wireless protocol, \n a second radio transceiver, \n a subscriber identity card coupled to the second radio transceiver, and \n a processor configured to route requests for data from the plurality of mobile devices through the second radio transceiver; \n a second base station, further comprising:\n a first radio transceiver, \n a second radio transceiver, and \n a subscriber identity card coupled to the second radio transceiver; and \n a cloud coordination server coupled to the first base station via a first communication channel and coupled to the second base station via a second communication channel, the cloud coordination server configured to:\n monitor aggregate bandwidth parameters of the first and the second base station, the aggregate bandwidth parameters including a desired uplink speed from the first base station to a core network with an available downlink speed of an existing link and an available uplink speed of the existing link, and \n coordinate a role reversal of the first base station and the second base station via attachment of the second base station to the first base station in a UE role based on the monitored aggregate bandwidth parameters.
