Next generation intelligent mesh network with fronthaul and backhaul services
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing, by a controller device, a first link with a wireless station of a wireless access network, wherein the wireless access network is one of a next generation partial mesh network or a next generation full mesh network;
receiving, by the controller device via the first link from the wireless station, current control information pertaining to one or multiple second links of a data plane for end user traffic that are between the wireless station and one or multiple wireless stations of the wireless access network, wherein the current control information includes one or more of link information that indicates whether the one or multiple second links are a line of sight link or not a line of sight link, service performance information that indicates one or more service performance metrics, or traffic flow information;
analyzing, by the controller device, the current control information;
determining, by the controller device in response to the analyzing, whether the one or multiple second links should be changed;
changing, by the controller device, one or more of the one or multiple second links when determining that the one or multiple second links should be changed; and
transmitting, by the controller device to the wireless station, routing and forwarding information that indicates the one or more of the one or multiple second links.
