<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for selecting a channel at a mesh point in a mesh network. <P>SOLUTION: Data arriving from the mesh point are aggregated in packet queues (806). The packet queues segregate arriving data by the Quality of Service (QoS) requirement of the data. A channel is selected from among a plurality of channels on the basis of the signal strength of a reception signal. An M-Request-To-Send (MRTS) message is sent to a potential receiving mesh points and a receiving mesh point responds to an M-Clear-to-Send (MCTS) message (812). Data from the packet queues are transmitted to the next mesh point (814). A mesh point power save mode makes a battery-operated mesh point sleep, thus preserving power. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
