1. An intermediate station for use in a mesh network comprising at least one first station and a second station wherein the intermediate station comprises a controller configured toreceive a path request for a path from the first station to the second station;

  • determine a proposed path between the first station and the second station; and

    determine a cost for the proposed path, wherein the controller is further configured to retrieve a number of jumps, a number of links and a bit rate, and to include the number of jumps, the number of links, and the bit rate in the determination of the cost for the proposed path, wherein an increase in number of jumps and/or increase in number of links and/or decrease in bit rate leads to an increase in cost for the proposed path,wherein the retrieved number of links is a total number of links to each intermediate station on the proposed path, such that each intermediate station adds its number to the total number of links.
