Abstract: A wireless mesh network is configured to implement a latency-sensitive communication protocol in order to facilitate data communications between devices coupled to that network and configured to communicate with one another based on that protocol. Specifically, a node within the wireless mesh network receives a continuous stream of data that includes an N-bit sequence from an upstream device coupled to the wireless mesh network. The node transmits the N-bit sequence to a downstream node within the wireless mesh network. The downstream node re-creates the continuous stream of bits based on the received N-bit sequence, and then transmits the re-created continuous stream of bits to another device coupled to the wireless mesh network. By operating in conjunction with one another, the nodes within the wireless mesh network facilitate communication between the devices coupled to wireless mesh network according to the latency-sensitive communication protocol.

Abstract translation: 无线网状网络被配置为实现延迟敏感的通信协议，以便于耦合到该网络并且被配置为基于该协议彼此通信的设备之间的数据通信。 具体地，无线网状网络内的节点接收包括来自耦合到无线网状网络的上游设备的N位序列的连续数据流。 节点将N比特序列发送到无线网状网络内的下游节点。 下游节点基于接收到的N位序列重新创建连续的比特流，然后将重新创建的连续的比特流发送到耦合到无线网状网络的另一个设备。 通过相互操作，无线网状网络内的节点根据等待时间敏感的通信协议促进耦合到无线网状网络的设备之间的通信。
