SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH A DENSE MESH NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for distributing communications through a dense mesh network having a plurality of nodes coupled to one of a plurality of gateway controllers, comprising:
- calculating a node location of each node relative to other nodes in the mesh network;
assigning nodes to separate gateway controllers when the nodes are within a predetermined distance of each other; and
measuring radio frequency interference levels between the plurality of nodes and changing a communication path of nodes having levels greater than a predetermined amount.

Abstract
A system and method for distributing communications through a dense mesh network having a plurality of nodes coupled to one of at least two gateway controllers is disclosed. A node location of each node is calculated relative to other nodes in the mesh network. Nodes that are less than a predetermined distance of each other are assigned to separate gateway controllers. Radio frequency interference levels between the nodes in the mesh network are measured and channels or PN codes of nodes having interference levels greater than a predetermined amount are changed.
