MULTI-TIER WIRELESS HOME MESH NETWORK WITH A SECURE NETWORK DISCOVERY PROTOCOL |
摘要 |
An apparatus and method for a multi-tier wireless home mesh network is described. The method may include formation of an infrastructure-less wireless home mesh networking environment comprising a collection of nodes that operate as a decentralized, ad hoc wireless network with multiple sub-networks or tiers that, are responsible for different functions within the network. Each node of the multi-tier network is configured to forward data to other nodes and is assigned to a particular tier based on the node's performance capabilities. A further embodiment includes identification of a wireless home mesh network. Once identified, one or more proprietary messages may be exchanged in a secure manner to establish connections with a home electronics device as either a mobile node or a stationary node of the home network. A home electronics device may wirelessly communicate to route data within one or more nodes of the wireless home mesh network. Other embodiments are described and claimed. |

1. Method, comprising;
determining whether a computerized wireless node (CWN) detects a wireless mesh network (WMN); responsive to a determination that the CWN does not detect the WMN, establishing the CWN as either a mobile node or a stationary node of a WMN; and causing the CWN, pursuant to being established as either a mobile node or a stationary node of a WMN, to periodically emit a beacon to enable identification of a WMN by any newly-added electronics devices. |
