A root access point (RAP) that allocates network resources (such as airtimes) to two or more mess access points (MAPs) via in a mesh network is described. During operation, the RAP receives communication information associated with operation of the two or more MAPs. Then, the RAP allocates the network resources in the mesh network to the two or more MAPs based at least in part on the communication information. Note that the network resources may include use of a shared wireless medium. For example, the network resources may include airtimes of the two or more MAPs. Moreover, a first airtime of a first MAP in the two or more MAPs may be different from a second airtime of a second MAP in the two or more MAPs and/or one or more clients (such as one or more electronic devices) of the RAP.

A method for managing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is described. The method includes determining, by a Network Coverage and Policy Server (NCPS), an airspace; determining, by the NCPS, a granularity that indicates sizes for volume elements in a set of volume elements that logically divide the airspace; determining, by the NCPS, network policy information for volume elements in the set of volume elements to produce one or more maps; and transferring, by the NCPS, the one or more maps to a UAV Traffic Management (UTM) system.

Presented herein are techniques to facilitate data stream routing and entitlement for Internet of Things (IoT) data streams. In one example, a method is provided that may include causing an IoT device to connect to a plurality of access networks based on a data stream policy; directing, based on the data stream policy, an IoT gateway to transmit a plurality of output data streams to a plurality of destinations in which the plurality of output data streams are based on a source data stream obtained by the IoT gateway from the IoT device via one or more of the plurality of access networks. The method may further include determining a degradation for at least one access network and, upon determining the degradation, causing a remediation action to be performed by at least one of the IoT device and the IoT gateway based on the data stream policy.

Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable mesh network capacity management via network metering using a processor an integrated roofing mesh network node in a mesh network to receive and transmit data packets in the mesh network. Each data packet includes a source address, a destination address, and a payload of data. The processor determines passthrough traffic including a subset of data packets routed between radio nodes of the mesh network through the gateway based on the source address and the destination address of each data packet and an address associated with the gateway. The processor determines a passthrough data capacity based on the payload of each data packet in the subset and determines a metric based on the passthrough data capacity to signify an amount of mesh network bandwidth provided by the integrated roofing mesh network node.

Use of multiple sensors to determine whether motion of an object is occurring in an area is described. In one aspect, an infrared (IR) sensor can be supplemented with a radar sensor to determine whether the determined motion of an object is not a false positive.

A client device is configured to communicate with an access point over a wireless network, exchanging data with the access point over a selected communication channel. After the wireless connection to the access point has ended, the client device receives a probe from the access point over a low-level layer, such as a data link layer. In response to receiving the probe, the client device reconnects to the access point.

A method including transmitting, by a first device in communication with a second device in a mesh network, periodic requests to an infrastructure device associated with the mesh network, the periodic requests requesting the infrastructure device to determine a current communication parameter associated with the first device; monitoring, by the first device during an interval between transmission of the periodic requests, occurrence of a triggering event; and transmitting, by the first device based at least in part on determining occurrence of the triggering event during the interval, an aperiodic request the infrastructure device to determine the current communication parameter associated with the first device. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Communication network architectures, systems and methods for supporting a network of mobile nodes. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide communication network architectures, systems, and methods for supporting a dynamically configurable communication network comprising a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., the Internet of moving things). The communication network architectures, systems, and methods of the disclosure support flexible access and management of monitoring applications in a network of moving things.

In some examples, a method for Access Point (AP) radio frequency adjustment can include receiving, for a given AP in a wireless network, data regarding: (a) radios of a first set of neighboring APs that are available to serve, at a first frequency, a wireless client associated with the given AP, and (b) radios of a second set of neighboring APs that are available to serve, at a second frequency, the wireless client. The method can further include determining, for a radio of the given AP and based on the received data, a frequency redundancy for a set of wireless clients in the wireless network automatically adjusting a frequency of the radio of the given AP based on the determined frequency redundancy.

Systems, devices, and methodology for removing echo and reducing congestion in multicast (broadcast) over a dynamic self-healing mobile mesh network, by use of discrete embedded computers synchronously tracking mesh connections and link quality across multiple RF connections, keeping multicast both efficient and effective in a highly kinetic, ever changing, mesh topology.
