Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a mesh network joins a source-destination oriented partial directed acyclic graph (SDO-PDAG) between a source node and a destination node in the network. The device receives operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) packets flooded along reverse paths of the SDO-PDAG. The device determines, based on the received OAM packets, packet drop rate (PDR) capacities of different paths between the device and the destination node. The device replicates a data packet sent from the source node to the destination node along two or more of the paths between the device and the destination node, based on the determined PDR capacities of those paths.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device in a wireless network receives telemetry data from a plurality of autonomous vehicles. The telemetry data is indicative of radio signal quality metrics experienced by the vehicles at a particular location over time. The device forms an array of wireless roaming thresholds by applying regression to the telemetry data. The device computes an optimum roaming threshold from the array of wireless roaming thresholds to be used by the vehicles when approaching the location. The device triggers, based on the computed optimum threshold, one or more of the autonomous vehicles to initiate access point roaming when approaching the particular location.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes: obtaining a multi-protocol schedule, wherein the multi-protocol schedule includes scheduling information characterizing packets associated with a plurality of wireless protocols, wherein each of the plurality of wireless protocols is associated with a respective virtual gateway of a plurality of virtual gateways; detecting, by a wireless transceiver, a first packet related to a first wireless protocol of the plurality of wireless protocols based on the multi-protocol schedule; and transmitting, by the wireless transceiver, the first packet related to the first wireless protocol to a first virtual gateway of the plurality of virtual gateways. According to some embodiments, the method is performed by a device (e.g., a MAC preprocessor) that includes a wireless transceiver, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first wireless bridge device configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from wireless network access points located along a pathway, and a second wireless bridge device configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from the wireless network access points. The first wireless bridge device and the second wireless bridge device are coupled to and communicate with each other. When the first wireless bridge device is wirelessly connected to a first access point and about to initiate a roaming mode to attempt to wirelessly connect to a second access point, the first wireless bridge device notifies the second wireless bridge device of the initiating of the roaming mode and determines whether the second wireless bridge device is in the roaming mode while the apparatus is moving along the pathway.

Abstract: Techniques for utilizing Software-Defined Field-Area Network (SD-FAN) controllers to receive a geographic location and transmission power of individual nodes and generate a geographic location topology of a Field-Area Network (FAN) to provide nodes with location-aware route paths for data transmission. One or more SD-FAN controller(s) may maintain a geographic location database to store the geographic location and transmission power of the individual nodes. Each node may utilize a Destination Address Object to advertise its geographic location and transmission power to the SD-FAN controller. The SD-FAN controller(s) may utilize the geographic location table to generate the geographic location topology of the FAN and determine a location-aware route path for optimized data transmission between nodes in the FAN.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises identifying, by an apparatus, a mesh instability source device that adds a substantial instability influence that substantially degrades network communications in a mesh network, including: determining, for each mesh network device in the mesh network, a corresponding node stability contribution that identifies a long-term capability of the corresponding mesh network device to provide reliable communications for other mesh network devices in the mesh network, and determining a corresponding influence of the node stability contribution on child mesh network devices relying on the corresponding mesh network device for connectivity in the mesh network, and identifying the mesh instability source device as having a corresponding worst influence of the node stability contribution in the mesh network; and eliminating the substantial instability influence based on determining a remediation solution, and causing the remediation solution to be implemented for the mesh instability source device.
