Systems and methods described herein provide an intelligent MEC resource scheduling service. A network device in a MEC network stores, in a memory, threshold values indicating overload conditions for resource usage by a first MEC cluster; monitors resource usage in the first MEC cluster; determines, based on the monitoring, when one of the threshold values is reached; identifies available resources in a second MEC cluster; and re-directs, based on the identifying, at least some of the resource usage from the first MEC cluster to the second MEC cluster.

Systems and methods for controlling congestion of a data network are provided. An engine round-trip time (RTT) and a fabric RTT for a network flow are determined. An engine-based congestion window size for the flow is determined based on the engine RTT and a target engine RTT. A fabric-based congestion window size for the flow is determined based on the fabric RTT and a target fabric RTT. The smaller of the engine-based congestion window size and the fabric-based window size is selected for use in transmitting a future packet associated with the flow. The target engine RTT is determined based in part on the current congestion window used to transmit packets for the flow and/or the target fabric RTT is determined based on a number of hops packets associated with the flow traverse from a source to a destination associated with the flow.

An information handling system operating a mesh network link aggregation optimization system may comprise a plurality of mesh access points, and one or more client devices connected via a plurality of wireless links forming a mesh wireless network. A processor may execute code instructions to generate a congestion score for each of the links based on measured traffic and quality of service of each of the links, determine the congestion score for a congested link does not meet a preset congestion threshold value, determine a location within the mesh wireless network in which to aggregate links between two mesh access points, based on availability of one or more radios, and transmit an instruction to one of the plurality of mesh access points to aggregate two or more links at the network layer at the determined location for simultaneous transmission on a single band.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications in a mesh network are described. During a path establishment procedure, a source device may broadcast a path request message, which may be forwarded (e.g., broadcast) by intermediate devices downstream through the mesh network to a destination device. Devices, starting with the destination device and continued upstream through intermediate devices along a path to be established, may feedback path response messages to establish a path between the destination device and the source device. Path response messages transmitted upstream through the mesh network may each include a handover address of a backup intermediate device. Therefore, upon reception of a path response message, an intermediate device selected for path establishment to a destination device may identify a handover address of a backup intermediate device. The intermediate device may perform a handover procedure with the backup intermediate device if a handover condition has been satisfied.

Systems and methods are provided for in-vehicle data-driven connectivity optimization in a network of moving things. An on-board unit configured for deployment in a vehicle may obtain, during operations in an area of the network of moving things, connectivity-related data relating to coverage within the area, and generate or update, based on processing of the obtained connectivity-related data, a networking decision model. The networking decision model is configured for optimizing connectivity to the one or more access points in or associated with the network of moving things. The networking decision model may be shared with other on-board units deployed in other vehicles and/or with a Cloud-based network node in the network.

A communications method includes determining, by a first platoon member, at least one second platoon member, where the first platoon member and the at least one second platoon member belong to a same platoon, and signal quality of a communication link from the first platoon member to each second platoon member is less than a first preset quality threshold, determining, by the first platoon member, a target communications node, where signal quality of a communication link from the target communications node to each second platoon member is greater than or equal to the first preset quality threshold, and sending, by the first platoon member, to-be-sent data to each second platoon member through the target communications node.
