LOGICAL AND PHYSICAL MESH NETWORK SEPARATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a method for creating mesh sub-networks in a wireless mesh network to begin by determining whether a trigger condition for creating a sub-network exists. SOLUTION: Nodes in a mesh network are selected to create a sub-network if a trigger condition exists. The sub-network is then created with the selected nodes. A node for use in a wireless mesh network includes a state device; an attachment list communicating with the state device for maintaining a state of the node; a trigger device communicating with the state device; and an attachment device communicating with the attachment list and the trigger device.
