Routing in a mesh network

摘要

A method and apparatus for advertising a backhaul metric in a mesh network (100) is described, the method comprising the steps of estimating a backhaul metric related to a throughput through a backhaul of the mesh network (100), adhering to a scheduling policy to support a plurality of wireless nodes (102) and advertising a rate that can be provided to an additional wireless node (102) while adhering to the scheduling policy and the backhaul metric within the mesh network (100).
