1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a wireless network device comprising a processor, a first number of second order node devices of a wireless network in a first communication with third order node devices;
based on a quality metric associated with a performance of the wireless network, sending, by the wireless network device, a first route metric, representative of a first relay hop path, to the first number of the second order node devices;
determining by the wireless network device, a second number of first order node devices connected, via a second communication, to the first number of the second order node devices; and
based on the first route metric and a second route metric, representative of a second relay hop path, between the second number of the first order node devices and the first number of the second order node devices, generating, by the wireless network device, a third route metric representative of third routes.

Abstract
A more efficient mesh network can be achieved by optimizing relay hops between node devices. A number of routes can be determined between node devices of various orders. Furthermore, a number of more efficient routes can be determined between the node devices of various orders. Based on the more efficient routes, relay paths between the node devices can either be maintained or terminated. Accordingly, route metrics can be updated dynamically to reevaluate which routes are more efficient than other routes, thereby optimizing system performance.

17. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
based on a first quality metric associated with a first wireless connection between a first number of second order node devices and third order node devices, determining a second number of the second order node devices; in response to the determining the second number, sending a first route metric, representative of a first relay path, to the second number of the second order node devices; determining a third number of the first order node devices, wherein the third number of the first order node devices are connected to the second number of the second order node devices, via a second wireless connection; based on a second quality metric associated with the second wireless connection, determining a fourth number of the first order node devices less than the third number of the first order node devices; determining a second route metric, representative of a second relay path, between the second number of the second order node devices and the fourth number of the first order node devices; and based on the first route metric and the second route metric, generating, by the second number of the second order node devices, a third route metric representative of third routes. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
