Abstract

A wireless communication system implements a calibration mode by which individual nodes in the system can determine which other nodes in the system are physically close to them and therefore can be reached with less than full transmitting power. Nodes which can communicate with one another via low power can form a low power constellation (a subset of the complete network) whose nodes can communicate directly with one another using this low power arrangement. The direct communication mode may additionally be used by itself. In another mode, the nodes in the system can communicate amongst themselves via bridges - other, non-access point nodes - to lessen the load on the access point or to accommodate environmental or other conditions. Various ones of these modes may be combined into a predetermined cycle of communication modes to help the physical layer accommodate various types of data handled by the network using beacons or another coordinating technique. Overhead in the form of packet retransmission may be reduced by interpolating to recover lost packets rather than retransmitting them.
