Abstract:
A hierarchical wireless network is provided with a mesh backbone network portion and a switching tree network portion. The mesh backbone network portion includes first tier nodes each having at least one wireless link to another first tier node. The first tier nodes execute a link-state protocol for routing packets. The switching tree network portion includes second tier nodes each having a single wireless link to one first tier node and at least one wireless link to one third tier node, and third tier nodes each having a single wireless link to one second tier node. The second tier and the third tier nodes execute switching rules for switching packets.

Claim (Index 19):
A method to establish a hierarchical wireless network, the method comprising:\n establishing a mesh backbone network portion of the hierarchical wireless network, wherein establishing the mesh backbone network portion comprises providing a plurality of first tier nodes, and wherein at least one of the plurality of first tier nodes is operable to establish at least one wireless link to at least another of the plurality of first tier nodes; and establishing a tree switching network portion of the hierarchical wireless network, wherein establishing the tree switching network portion of the hierarchical wireless network comprises:\n providing one or more second tier nodes; and \n providing one or more third tier nodes, wherein: \n at least one of the one or more second tier nodes is operable to establish a single wireless link to one of the plurality of first tier nodes, \n at least one of the one or more second tier nodes is operable to establish at least one wireless link to at least one of the one or more third tier nodes, and \n at least one of the one or more third tier nodes is operable to establish a single wireless link to one of the one or more second tier nodes.
