Configuration Of Failure And Acquire Timeouts To Facilitate Recovery From Failures In Hierarchical Mesh Networks

View page
US Patent:
7505450, Mar 17, 2009
Filed:
Aug 26, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/212997
Inventors:
Neal Dante Castagnoli - Morgan Hill CA, US
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04J 3/06
US Classification:
370350, 370324, 370338, 370351, 370503, 370254, 455500, 455502
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to providing an efficient failure recovery mechanism in hierarchical wireless mesh networks. In one implementation, the present invention mitigates the effect of synchronization loss between a parent and child node on the hierarchical wireless mesh network. In one implementation, the present invention employs a configuration scheme whereby the parent node failure timeouts are greater than the time to acquire a parent node to mitigate the effect of synchronization loss on downstream nodes in the hierarchical mesh network.

Node Exclusion Within A Network

US Patent:
7613128, Nov 3, 2009
Filed:
Apr 9, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/733008
Inventors:
Neal Castagnoli - Morgan Hill CA, US
Shahriar Rahman - San Jose CA, US
Lily Chen - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/26
US Classification:
370252, 3703952
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method involves selecting a connection, and attempting to establish a satisfactory link using that connection. If the link is not established, a reliability indicator associated with the connection is modified, to disfavor use of that connection. If the link is established, the reliability indicator associated with the connection is modified, to favor the use of that connection.

Automatic Route Configuration In Hierarchical Wireless Mesh Networks

US Patent:
7899027, Mar 1, 2011
Filed:
Aug 26, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/213287
Inventors:
Neal Dante Castagnoli - Morgan Hill CA, US
Robert J. Friday - Los Gatos CA, US
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04J 3/06
US Classification:
370350, 370254, 370338, 370503, 370216, 455 412, 455502
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to routing configuration in a hierarchical wireless mesh network. In one implementation, the present invention uses neighbor messages to allow routing nodes to discover one another and configure a hierarchical routing configuration. In one implementation, the present invention provides a neighbor and adjacency protocol that provides for automatic mesh configuration and loop-free mesh topologies.

Path Optimization For Mesh Access Points In A Wireless Mesh Network

View page
US Patent:
8155007, Apr 10, 2012
Filed:
Jan 25, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/657662
Inventors:
Pascal Thubert - La Colle sur Loup, FR
Vincent Jean Ribiere - Biot, FR
Patrick Wetterwald - Mouans Sartoux, FR
Neal Dante Castagnoli - Morgan Hill CA, US
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370238, 370255
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes, in each of a plurality of mesh access points, connecting to one of a plurality of mesh controllers in a mesh network and passing connection information to the one mesh controller. The mesh access points include a wired mesh access point having a wired connection to the one mesh controller, and wireless mesh access points having a wireless connection to the one mesh controller via the wired mesh access point. The method also includes generating, in each mesh controller, a corresponding link state table based on the passed connection information from each corresponding connected mesh access point. The method also includes generating in at least one of the mesh controllers a mesh table, identifying all of the connecting links for the mesh access points connected among the mesh controllers, based on the mesh controllers sharing the respective link state tables.

Slot-Based Transmission Synchronization Mechanism In Wireless Mesh Networks

US Patent:
8599822, Dec 3, 2013
Filed:
Aug 26, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/213292
Inventors:
Neal Dante Castagnoli - Morgan Hill CA, US
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04J 3/06
US Classification:
370350, 370238, 370252, 370351, 370352, 370355, 370356, 455450, 455451, 4554521, 4554522, 709238, 709239, 709240, 709241, 709242
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to synchronizing transmissions among parent and child routing nodes in a hierarchical wireless mesh network. In one implementation, the present invention employs a time slot scheduling algorithm to coordinate communications between wireless nodes of a hierarchical tree. In one implementation, the present invention provides a wireless mesh network where slot scheduling information propagates throughout the mesh, while individual nodes in the mesh compute their respective time slot schedules based on this information and the current state of the network. In one such implementation, a parent routing node computes its slot schedule and transmits certain parameters to its child nodes (as opposed to the schedule itself). The child node(s) then iterates the same scheduling function based on the parameters passed to it to determine the slots with which it should communicate to its parent node and its child nodes.

Mesh Tree Formation In Wireless Networks

View page
US Patent:
20090116411, May 7, 2009
Filed:
Nov 5, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/935033
Inventors:
Neal Dante Castagnoli - Morgan Hill CA, US
Jyoti Raju - San Jose CA, US
Christopher Graham Meil - Akron OH, US
Assignee:
Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370256
Abstract:
A mesh tree formation system. In particular implementations, a method includes responsive to a selection of a channel potentially bearing a higher priority use, entering a silent state and initiating a channel scan of the selected channel for a period of time. The method also includes, responsive to receipt of an enabling signal, entering a limited transmission state that enables transmission of wireless frames on the selected channel. The method also includes, responsive to termination of the period of time of the channel scan wherein no higher priority use is detected, entering a full transmission state comprising transmission of enabling signals corresponding to the selected channel.

System For Acknowledging Availability Of Neighbor Node Using Data Packet Containing Data That Is Ordinarily Fowarded To Neighbor Node

View page
US Patent:
58058184, Sep 8, 1998
Filed:
Sep 11, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/712476
Inventors:
Radia J. Perlman - Acton MA
Neal D. Castagnoli - Morgan Hill CA
Assignee:
Novell, Inc. - Orem UT
International Classification:
G06F 15173
US Classification:
39520054
Abstract:
A novel acknowledgment mechanism efficiently requests affirmation from a neighboring node coupled to a communication link of a network that the neighbor is "alive" and connected to that link. The acknowledgment mechanism comprises control information generated by a source node and generally stored in a network layer header of a data packet transmitted to the neighbor. This next-hop acknowledgement (or lack thereof) from the neighbor provides a fast and efficient indication of (lost) system connection between adjacent nodes of a network.
