Abstract:
The invention provides a set of mechanisms by which a wireless mobile mesh node equipped with a directional antenna may self form and self adapt its steady-state communications schedule. A link establishment handshake is carried out over an ongoing subtemplate-based discovery scan. During time not reserved for steady-state communications with previously discovered neighbors, nodes continue to search for an establish links with new neighbors. Initial and subsequent bandwidth allocation protocols may be utilized to allow peer nodes to coordinate communication opportunities between the peer nodes without impacting or having knowledge about reservations for communications with other peers. The link establishment and initial bandwidth allocation protocols may be piggy-backed for readily establishing an initial steady-state schedule with a peer upon link establishment without impact on previous steady state reservations by other nodes or on ongoing link establishment attempts elsewhere.

Claim (Index 37):
A method comprising:\n establishing, by a plurality of wireless communication devices, communication links in a mesh network, each communication link implemented as scheduled wireless transmissions carrying network traffic exchanged between two different wireless communication devices of the plurality of wireless communications devices, wherein each wireless communication device of the plurality of wireless communication devices establishes one or more of the communication links by: exchanging peer discovery communications with other wireless communication devices in the mesh network during unreserved time durations of a schedule maintained by the wireless communication device; and updating the schedule to reserve time durations for each new communication link implemented by the wireless communication device as a result of the peer discovery communications, wherein the schedule maintained by each of the plurality of wireless communication devices is different.
