1. A method of controlling a multi-radio mesh network system supporting at least two different wireless communication standards, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) determining, at a wireless access switching module, whether user data en-queued in a queue of a first wireless link and retained on standby cannot be transmitted;

    (b) switching, at the wireless access switching module, the user data en-queued in the queue of the first wireless link and retained on standby to an available second wireless link when it is determined, in step (a), that the data en-queued in the queue of the first wireless link and retained on standby cannot be transmitted;

    (c) changing, at the wireless access switching module, a frame structure according to different wireless access techniques; and

    (d) when access is possible through the second wireless link, searching at a forwarder for a local neighbor directly connected to a transmitting node and a receiving node, and forwarding the user data.
