Cloud controller for next generation data network

摘要

A Next Generation Data Network is described. It leverages the “cloud” for data management, low frequency data computation and analytics. The wireless network is a single frequency network that permits limited non-line of sight operation. The wireless network using packet switched beams, the beams are formed and switched electronically. It utilizes advanced signal processing to compensate for low transmit signal power and multipath reflections that can be frequency or flat fades.

主权项

1. A method for controlling a multi-hop mesh wireless data network by a controller, comprising:
characterizing by the controller data on radio frequency (RF) links at a plurality of nodes of the wireless data network; analyzing the data on the RF links to compute parameters for one or more alternate routing paths from a source node to a destination node in one or more hops across the wireless data network; loading the parameters for the alternate routing paths to the source node to direct the source node on how to route a data packet from the source node to the destination node through any intermediate nodes; receiving statistics on the delivery of a plurality of data packets from the source node to the destination node; and adaptively adjusting the parameters for the alternate routing paths in response to the data on the RF links and the statistics on the delivery of data packets.
