Method and system for a radio frequency management in a mesh network with a path distance factor

摘要

A method and system for radio frequency management (RFM) in a mesh network using a path distance factor (PDF) is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprises calculating a path distance factor (PDF) between a first mesh router and a portal. A frame is transmitted to a second mesh router, wherein the frame includes the path distance factor.

1. A method comprising:
calculating, by a network device, a first path distance vector between a first mesh router and a portal in a mesh network, wherein the portal is connected to a wired network server, and wherein the first path distance vector indicates a path from the first mesh router to the portal; determining, by the network device, a path distance vector threshold which specifies a total number of nodes on a path to be announced in a frame; and transmitting, by the network device, the frame to another mesh router, wherein the frame includes a plurality of path distance vectors including the first path distance vector, and wherein a number of path distance vectors included in the frame is limited by the path distance vector threshold.
